A member asked:
I haven't gotten my period since i stopped birth control 6 months ago. i have pcos with irregular periods but what would cause it to be this long?

Yes: That absolutely can happen. You really need to see a specialist and be treated properly. Without treatment you are at risk for uterine cancer from the lack of bleeding as well as a whole host of other medical problems (diabetes high cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc).
