Very common!: It's called "post pill amenorrhea". When you're taking hormonal contraceptives, the natural signaling hormones from your pituitary gland (the gland that orchestrates the activity of other hormones) are suppressed. It can take your hormones up to 3 months to reset and for your natural menstrual cycle to resume. No worries! Dr. Anne @ HealthTap.
