Missing Period. Not Pregnant.
So I recently stopped taking Birth Control. First j was on the Nexplanon plant, which was horrible. I had terrible side effects and constant irregular spotting. So I had that removed and my Gyno put me on Seasonique (generic version) I was on this for about a year with not too much issue and rarely had a period. Then I suddenly began spotting on it. After 2 months of spotting I decided to stop taking BC all together. Fed up with the side effects. Another thing to note is both forms cause me to gain about 50+ pounds very quickly which is not like me. Anyways when I first went off it I had spotting. Then a month later had a full normal period and now I have gone over 2 months with no period. I have taken multiple tests and all have been negative. O have heard that it can take a while for your body to get back to normal after BC. How long is too long before I should be concerned that my period is missing? Help please.

It can definitely take a bit for your body to regulate. I'd assume not pregnant and if you go three months without a period, give your doctor a call. BC usually normalizes it but you don't want on that now, so the long cycle/irregularity is probably just going to have to be observed until your hormones swing back into gear.
