Just stopped birth control..?
I had a son on Dec 11th of last year and was put on Loestrin 24, which I've been taking ever since. Every month, I would start my period when I took the brown placebo pills and also if I would take a pill late or just forget to take one. My last period was November 16th and I ran out of pills on Dec 19th. I have yet to have a period, and it's now Dec 31st. My bf and I have unprotected sex regularly, so I know that I COULD be pregnant, realistically.
This isn't an "Am I pregnant?" question, because nobody could answer that for me. I've had 2 children and know the signs. My question is whether it's normal to not have a period after stopping BC, even though I haven't had a problem thus far. I'd like to rule everything out before running to get a PT.
I know that this is probably the wrong category for my question, but I knew that one of you ladies could help me out (:

I am on Loestrin 24 too...I stopped taking it for 2 months and started taking it again after that and it did mess with my cycle dates as well. My period now comes before the brown pills when it used to come at the end of the brown pills. I'm sure your body will get back into it's own cycle again...I think your body just has to adjust to not having the hormones...My period also got a lot heavier when I was off of them, so that's why I got back on them ;)
Hope this helped. Feel free to contact me for anything.
