Understanding Missed Periods After Pregnancy & Starting Birth Control


Question
Good Evening,

Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

I have a history of what I presume to be polycystic ovarian syndrome because I would go several months without getting my period.  In September 2009, however, I got pregnant but had a blighted ovum.  On Friday September 25th I had a D&C to remove all the tissue.  I bleeding stopped on Tuesday the 29th and I started taking Yaz birth control pills on Wednesday the October 1st.

I got my period on schedule in October (started on 27th ended on 31st) and November started on 23rd ended on 27th.  

The proble is that I missed the last active pill and space pills in the December packet and have not gotten my period.  My period was due on December 22nd and as of this writing on January 3rd I have not gotten my period.

I have had no sexual activity whatsoever and I have not experienced any increased stress in my life.  I did, however, seem to gain a few pound due to holiday cooking.

Might you have any idea on what the problem might be?  Why the missed period?  

Also, should I start the January pack and see what happens?  If so, when?  I presume my new cycle should have already started.

Thanks again!

Dear Aneika

No one can give an explanation without examining you. It may be simply the few pounds u gained recently, can be age if you are around 40 , can be due to fulty use of the pills or other reasons that should be investigated thoroughly.

You need to visit your caring gynecologist for proper consultation and advice.

Good Luck
