[|Human|] Hi! I have a question..I stopped taking contraceptive pills March 2012 and since then I only had my period...My last period was last July and its been worrying me..I have been to my doctor several times but all that she told me is to wait for at least a year until all the extra estrogen is released from my body.. I have been using pills since after the birth of my child and that was more than 6 years ago..I ve stopped taking it for 5 months in 2007 and I also gained a lot of weight since I started taking those pills..Please can you help me?Thank you in advance.
[|AI|]  HelloThanks for your queryWhat you are suffering from is called post pill amenorrhea. Sometimes, it lasts for up to 3 - 6 months after continuous use of oral contraceptive pills. But It's already been almost 6 months, so you should definitely opt for some treatment now, particularly if desirous for child Chat Doctor. You have not mentioned your age, please let me know that. Also, the rebound weight gain is also common after stopping the pills. You need to get your hormonal tests such as estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, etc., if required endometrial biopsy etc. to know the cause of absent periods. Take care
