Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
You have not mentioned your age and name of remedy that you are taking.
It is usual to have amenorrhea for 1—2 months after using birth control pills for long time, but if it is for longer duration then it needs to be investigated.
Sometimes ovulation may take place without periods.
You have history of unprotected sex & amenorrhea. I would advise you to rule out pregnancy by doing a home pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further management.
Hope this will be helpful. Thanks for using HCM.
Take care.
I find this answer helpful
