I have been taking birth control pills for the past 2 years and after gaining 15 lbs…i decided to stop taking them a month back and ever since i stopped taking them i havent had my periods…i feel soo miserable. I called my doctor and she said wait another month and then we’ll do some tests to see wat the problem is…i have done 3 pregnancy tests…they were all negative…does anyone know wat the problem could be? oh btw i have hypothyroidism
r u taking something fo r ur hypothyroidism?..if not it can make u feel like crap
as for birth control..i dont know anything bout that dear but i hope u get better soon..
dont worry..inshallah all will workout fine soon
Re: feeling miserable :(
I have not taken birth control for it's very purpose but yes I took medicine of this type only to stop periods during Hajj. I took for 1 month and after I stopped it I got my periods in less than a month I think. I believe it takes some time for the cycle to get back to normal and one thing a dr told me that by taking birth control pregnancy is terminated for the next 3 months.
If you are so worried why don't you see another doctor. I know disturbed menstrual cycle can cause alot of mental stress as it directly hits your hormones.
Good Luck !
Re: feeling miserable :(
hey brain..u have hypothroidism,do u take thyroxine??hypothyroidism itself causes amenorrhea,or abscence/less frequent periods...its always gud to get ur thyriod functions tested if u havent had them done for a while.
were u having regular periods while taking the pills?n which pill were u taking?progesterone can cause a delat in ur periods..n if anyone takes a pill with progesterone in it(almost all pills have it)for a long time,u can have no periods for upto 9 months..n it kind of delays ur pregnancy for a while,sometimes 9 months..
but dnt worry,get in touch with ur dr,n just wait for it to start..it will come back naturally.
