I am 23 and I was on the contraceptive pill for a little over a year, I finished with it in February 2017. I had my withdrawal bleed but I have not had a period since. I went to the doctors back in December and they told me my hormones are all fine and normal. But where is my period?!
In January 2017 I changed my lifestyle quite dramatically and have become a highly active person (I train daily in a combination of weights, HIIT and cardio) but this has been my routine for a long time so can this be the only factor that is affecting the reappearance of my period? My distinct lack of period for a year and a half is starting to become of increasing concern to me. I just want to go back to normal!
Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated, I do not know where else to turn

There is so much info about the side effects and long term effects of gardacil it certainly is possible the changes are related to the vaccine. You might like to check out the work of Dr Sherrill Sellman, she talks greatly on the topic. x

She had a perfectly healthy flow and was quite regular until January of this year (2015) when I agreed to let her have the HPV vaccine that is being rolled out to most teenage girls. I read the leaflet which explained the vaccine would prevent certain types of cervical cancer so I didn’t hesitate to sign her up. However since then, (nearly 6months later) she has not had a period and I am becomming really concerned! I have taken her to a GP and we are awaiting blood results but when I mentioned the connection to the vaccine she had received to the GP, she basically laughed it off and said it would not be anything to do with that. I’m really not sure where to turn as I feel the doctors really don’t take our hormone health seriously. Just seems a huge coincidence!
Has anyone else heard of any problems with gardasil HPV and do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance x

I have stopped taking birth control in order to try for a baby with my husband. I stopped taking the pill at the end of the packet on the 21st of Nov 2014, I got what I believe is a normal withdrawal bleed on the 26th of Nov that lasted 4days. Since then nothing (almost 2 months) until 3 days ago I started having some dark brown discharge/blood spotting but its very minimal and nothing like a normal period I have had before. I have done 3 pregnancy tests in the last 2 weeks, last one this morning, and they have all said negative. Is there a chance I could be pregnant and should I be worried something is wrong? I have read that a negative test and spotting can indicate problems such as eptopic pregnancies etc.
I understand that coming off the pill can take some time for your body to adjust and for cycles to get back to normal. I am just wondering how long I should be waiting before I get too worried and seek help.
Thanks

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, or if anyone can help me to understand what my body is trying to tell me…
I am 23 and have been on the pill since I was 16. When I was about 18/19 my period would spot through when I wasnt supposed to have my period, so my doctor moved me to a stronger version of my pill (from Norimin to Norimin 1), I skipped my period quite a bit (perhaps 3 months in a row then try to have my period) and my doctor said this was okay. Gradually I would not get a period at all when I tried. For about 12 months, even when trying I would not get a period. So 6 months ago, I stopped taking the pill completely, and i got 1 normal period about 2 months after, but then no more for the last 4 months. Wondering if I have done damage by skipping my period too much over the years? Will it take longer to go back to normal, if at all? I just want to feel normal. Also for the last month I have broken out in pimples quite badly around my chin, is this connected? I have never had any problems at all wih my skin before this either. Would you recommend going back on the pill in say a year if it goes back to normal or just avoid going back on the pill all together?
Any help or clarity or reassurance would be great. I know its probably a little prematue but I worry that when I do want to have children in the next 5-10 years I will have problems, and anything I can do now to prevent this, I will try!

Thank you very much!

Hi lee- I also was on Diane 35 and experienced anxiety and panic attacks ++ when coming off the pill- I found time, yoga, accupuncture and not overloading my self the most useful. It eventually went away- but it was so bad I had days off work was turning down social events! I felt like a different person! Also eatting as healthy as possible I followed the no gluten no dairy low gi principles . Hoping you pass through the phase as I did!

I’ve been taking the pill for 3 months straight now without a period and I’ve decided to stop to have my 7 day break. Its been 5 days since I stopped and I haven’t come on my period. Should I be worried or is it normal? During the last month I wasn’t taking the pill at the exact time it was around about 2 hours different every night, but I would never miss one.

I also have had no period at all. I am taking a multi-vitamin, fish oil and vitamin d to no avail. I have pretty much been in bed for the past 5 months as my symptoms are unbearable. I have an appointment with a hormone nathropath soon. Is there any information you could give me to start my period? any advice is much appreciated.

I was in yaz for approx 2.5 years before stopping, than I took levlen for 1 month and stopped that as I didn’t like it. I’ve now been off the pill for approx 4-5 months. I’ve had one period since stopping the pill and haven’t had one for 3 months now. I’ve also done a HPT and it was negative. Just getting a bit worried.

Thanks
