There's nothing you need to do. Your menstrual cycle will return to its previous pattern within a month or two of stopping birth control (except for Depo Provera, after which it could take 1-18 months, with an average of 11 months). If your cycles were irregular before, you will likely return to your previous pattern of irregular periods.

You have not had your period in about 7 months ever since you stopped taking birth control but you are not pregnant what could be the other reasons for this?

The only birth control method that I have ever heard of causing that is the depo provera shot. After taking the shot, some say that your body needs to get back on track. Because birth control shuts down your ovaries for a period of time, the depo shot seems to be a little stronger at doing that, so it may take some time for your body to return back to normal.
