I stopped my birth control about a month and a half ago. haven't gotten my period. can i start my birth control back without having my period?

Sure, no problem: You can stop and start birth control pills and it doesn't do you body any harm. You need to take birth control pills continuously for 7 days straight in order to have pregnancy protection. Hope that helps! period may be irregular depending on where you're at in your cycle when you re-start the pack.
