No period: 2 months: At 24, if you had a history of regular periods prior to your taking oral bcps, your period should resume within 6-8 weeks. Remember that before a period occurs, you will ovulate, and of course pregnancy is possible. If pregnancy is suspected, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain.
