periods after stopping birth control pills

Sent to Health Experts August 11 10:17 AM

It is my first month off of the pill. I have been on and off the pill over the last 13 years and have been on ortho novum 777 for the past years. I haven't gotten my period yet and it has been 47 days. I know i was irregular when not on the pill, but never this late. How long does it take before i will get my period and when should i see a doctor if i don't?

Once in a while, menstruation is irregular or absent for as long as six months after stopping the pill. This generally occurs if periods were irregular before starting the pill.
