A member asked:
Is it normal for a female to stop having her period for a long time after getting off birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amenorrhea: Not having a period is related to an inappropriate amount of estrogen and or Progesterone in the body and may be independent of having been on birth control of any kind. Depends on how long on birth control, what kind and for how long you were without a period after.
