I haven't had my period for almost 7 months. How long before I start to worry about this post-contraception amenorrhea?

Question

Hello, I have not had my period for almost 7 months. I stopped the contraceptive pill last May because it was no longer suitable for me. My last period was in July 2022. I don't think I'm pregnant but I did some pregnancy tests and they were all negative.

Hello, It can be normal to have an unbalanced cycle during the 3 months after stopping the pill because the body has to readjust to the hormonal changes. However, since you are past this period, I recommend that you consult your doctor for an evaluation. Amenorrhea can be caused by different reasons.
