Women who don't ovulate naturally may have one of two problems that are helped with Birth Control pills:
- In women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and other high- or normal-estrogen states who don't ovulate, the risk of endometrial cancer is high. The birth control pill can eliminate this risk.
- In women with anorexia or other low-estrogen states who don't ovulate, the estrogen in the birth control pill can offer some protection against bone loss.
Talk with your health care provider regarding whether it makes sense for you to use the birth control pill for noncontraceptive reasons.

What happens when you dont get your period after taking birth control for a month?
Hi, This does sometimes happen hun and is nothing to worry about. You should get your period next month but you will need to do a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy just incase you conceived during the first month of taking birth control pill as this does sometimes occur when you dont use protection. Take care.
Will birth control stop working if you dont take it for a few months then start again?
Once you stop taking birth control, within 7 days of stopping it you will begin to ovulate and put yourself at risk of pregnancy. Before you re-start birth control, perform a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, you can re-start birth control. If the test is positive, see your Doctor for confirmation. When you re-start birth control, you cannot have unprotected sex until you've been on birth control for one whole month. So until this time you need to use a condom for 4 weeks.
After going off birth control for 2 months is is possible to go without your period having it the first month and not the second?

i dont know, but certain antibiotics can render your birth control USELESS.
Is been 3 weeks and you still dont have your period?
If you took a test and it was negative you likely didn't ovulate this cycle and may need medication to bring on your period. Consult your physician.
Can you continue your contraceptive pill if you dont get a period until the 7thday?
Yes, you should keep taking the birth control as scheduled on the calendar regardless of any bleeding.
You dont get a period because you are on the pill you tested negative but still feel pregnant?
If you're on the birth control pill and had a negative pregnancy test, it is not likely you are pregnant.
