Hi, I have not had a period in 4 months. I have taken over 10 pregnancy test that came out negative. Could this be something other than pregnancy. A couple months before my first skipped period I stopped taking my birth control pills. Could this be a reason or could their be other reasons for my absence of a period?
Hi, Absence of menstruation could be due to a lot of reasons, since your pregnancy tests are negative, you should take Tab. Duphaston 10 mg for 5 days and then stop, this is called progesterone challenge, you should be getting your period after 3-4 days of stopping these pills. Sometimes after stopping the birth control pills it may take time for the body to get back to regular cycle. If you do not get your period after the progesterone challenge, you may have to get hormonal levels of FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin done to rule out hormonal causes. An ultrasound of the pelvis will also need to be done to visualize the lining of the womb and the ovaries. Hope this helps. Regards.
