A member asked:
Period 85 days late, recently off birth control 4 mos ago, not pregnant, slight cramping, sharp pinches near ovaries. what could be wrong?

Amenorrhea: 85 days is a long time! Were your menstrual periods fairly regular before you started birth control pills? The first thing that comes to mind is some sort of obstruction. Possibly a large uterine fibroid or a polyp that covers the cervical opening. Please see your gynecologist soon.

Need evaluation: Hi, usually periods resume spontaneously within 3 months after stopping BCP (I'm presuming your periods were regular before BCP). There is a small group of women, and you seem to be one, for whom menses don't return right away. Even though everything might be ok I'd suggest you consult with your gynecologist who may do some preliminary investigations.
