Unsure: It is normal to experience amenorrhea for up to 6 months after stopping the pill. If it has been longer than 6 months you should see your doctor.

Probably ...: To diagnose pcos, we need 2 out of 3 of: 1. Irregular/no periods 2. Clinical signs like acne, hair growth and/or blood tests showing too much male-type hormones (androgens) 3. Ultrasound appearance of polycystic ovaries (pco): high volumes or antral follicle counts. You have 2 / 3, but we "rule out" other causes of irregular cycles / no periods such as thyroid, prolactin, or adrenal gland issues.
