It takes about a year to get your body back into balance. You may miss periods for quite some time or even have more than one period a month. It depends on the woman.

Is it normal to not have a period if on birth control pills for a long time?
It depends on what type of birth control you are on. If you are on a birth control that will only make you have four or so periods a year, then it is normal. If you are on a normal birth control it really isn't normal to not have a period. Failure to menstrate is often caused by hormonal imbalances, certain conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, could be causing the imbalance. In any case a good consultation with a family physician or a gynecologist would be a good order.

No it is not okay. If birth control pills are not taken everyday at the same time, you will increase your chances of pregnancy.

If you find it difficult remembering to take your birth control as directed, you should speak to your physician about trying a different method of birth control, such as an IUD, or the Depo Vera shot. In the meanwhile find a time that is convenient for you to take your pill. Try taking your birth control everyday at 7 AM for example.
