A member asked:
I take birth control (since may) but my period hasn't come for over a year. am not pregnant or sexually active. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Periods on the pill are completely artificial and generally will be lighter. In some they will completely disappear. There is nothing wrong with this and you can expect them to return to normal when and if you stop the pill.
