At a very young age, I was put on birth control and always had a period from the placebo pill. As I got older, I found my period to be inconvenient and would skip it for months and months. Anytime I brought it up to a doctor, they said it was harmless to do that so I continued

A couple years ago I had a change in perspective and really wanted my body to experience a natural cycle. I went off my birth control.

It took awhile for my periods to return, for a while they were every other month but eventually regular, starting around the same time, monthly. Unfortunately this didn’t last long.

After coming off my birth control I initially felt amazing! I noticed it had affected a lot more things than I was aware of. Especially since I was so young when I began taking it. The only negative affect it had was a cystic acne breakout that has since cleared. Although I still get them from time to time now.

About 7 almost 8 months ago, my now husband and I made the decision to use a plan B one night.

The plan B immediately brought on a period that lasted well past my normal cycle duration. After that my period was absent until mid last month (6 months later.)

This month I was excited for my period to arrive on schedule and again it didn’t.

My husband and I are anxious to have a family in the coming years but I worry about fertility with irregular periods like this.

I’ve had my well woman’s exam in January and was told all looked normal. I had a yearly physical as well in March with blood work and was told all appeared to be fine as well.

Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom? Advice?
