I've been taking birth control for about two years now. It's great. I used to have irregular periods (I had as few as three in a year) but once i started taking bc they became extremely regular. Pleasantly light, lasting only five days, and every 24 days. Due to some kind of shipping error, one of my shipments arrived a month late- so late that my next shipment arrived only a month later, so I has six months' worth of bc arrive within a single month. Scumbag pharmacy much?
My last period started January 24, and I haven't had once since then. I can't start taking bc again until I have a period, and I can't have a period because I can't take bc and this stupid cycle is never going to end. I don't ovulate naturally. This is why I took bc in the first place, so I could be normal. Later on when I started having sex, sure, it had other purposes, but it's more than just a baby-preventer. It literally controls my body's reproductive functionality.
So the question is, do I wait until June, when my yearly examine should be scheduled, to bring this up with my doctor or do I consult her now and have her prescribe me something to jump-start my period again? Which would be more worthwhile? Are there consequences to waiting? I can't exactly get pregnant if I can't ovulate so I'm not terribly worried about that, and my boyfriend and I always use condoms anyway.
Also, just to rule it out, I am not pregnant. I checked in February or early March, I don't remember exactly when. Sometimes I have cramps. Sometimes they're pretty bad. But nothing ever comes of them.
My cycle is generally 24 days, so thus far, I have missed three periods. By the end of April, it will be four. By the time we get to June it will be seven or eight, and that's just ridiculous. I hate having to rely on medication but it apparently can't be helped since me not ovulating allegedly has no cause.
What do I do then? About any of this?
