Since I stopped taking the pill (February), I have not had my period. I have done two pregnancy tests that were negative. Is this normal?

Hello Ma'am,

The return of menstruation following discontinuation of birth control depends on the method and each woman. In general, the return of menstruation after stopping a combined hormonal contraceptive is between 1 and 3 months. However, this is very variable and can be shorter or longer for some women. The delay in the return of menstruation can also be affected by other factors, such as stress.

So, you don't have to worry about not having a period at this point, it is normal. If in doubt, you can take a pregnancy test, just as you did.

I hope I have adequately answered your question!

Happy day,
