What causes my missed periods after stopping birth control?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have missed two periods in the past two months. Also, I have not had sex in the last four months. The last time I had sex was at the end of my oral contraceptive cycle. I also took an oral contraceptive pill as a precaution the next morning, which led to bleeding for four days. The following month, I had my regular periods.

Also, I had taken five pregnancy tests, all of which came negative. I am no longer on birth control pills and am not sexually active. I always had regular menstrual cycles even before using oral contraceptives.

Are hormonal changes the reason for a delay of my periods?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

A hormonal imbalance can be the reason. I suggest you get the following tests done:

Urine routine and culture test.
Pap smear of the vaginal discharge for microbiology.
Thyroid profile.
Complete hemogram with peripheral smear study.
Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis.

If you cannot get the tests done, I suggest you go for induction agents for menstrual periods and regularization.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
