What to do...

I also don't think you are pregnant.

I think I recall you going off the pill recently. Your body might just still be finding its own rythm. Give it time...Tara's points are all good though. I know I've heard on this site a lot of people don't have regular periods because either their weight (BMI) is too low or periodic infections mess with their cycles.

Are you a healthy BMI and does it not flucuate much?
Have you had an infection anywhere in your body in the past few months?

in addition to the BMI issue stress can cause you to miss your periods. With all that has been going on in your life I cant imagine that you arent overly stressed and it might be playing a role.

My BMI is good, I don't have trouble maintaining my weight. I am 5'2" and stay between 112-115 pounds. The last time I lost a significant amount of weight I was really sick but that was about 3 and half years ago. Up until May I I had been on BC for almost 8 years, so A LOT has changed since I had a "normal" period. As far as stress goes, the amount of stress in my life has decrease MASSIVELY. I took some much needed time off of work (I told my boss that I was ready to kill someone), and Brian is doing SO good, he's a whole new person.

Jessi,

So you have not had one period since you went off the pill? I think that is your answer. You could be experiencing secondary Amenorrhea. It may honestly take 3-6 months for your body to resume menstruation.

If you don't get the answers you want from your OB and they run out of ideas for you, just shop around. Find a second opinion. I still recommend getting bloodwork done. I don't know exactly what to ask for except the OB probably knows what levels of which hormones you should have in your bloodstream at any given point in your cycle. If your hormones are out of whack there could be an underlying reason for it. I know thyroids have a lot to do with different hormones, so does the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. There are just a bazillion possibilites. Keep after that OB. And keep us posted.

One last thought. Are you on any antidepressants? A lot of CFers are and that can sometimes affect your cycle too. There are just so many possibilites, I hate to sit here and guess. And I hate for you to wait the full six months only to see your period not return after getting off the pill and then start all this testing.

Hang in there!
