If not, they are not likely to become regular now. The pill is well out of your system by now. If you are not having regular priods, it is not due to the pill. The fact that you're on no hormonal birth contral and have had no period since September is, on its own, a reason to see your gynecological health care provider. S/he may give you some medication to bring on a peroid, both to reduce the risks of missing many periods as well as to investigate what the problem could be. After three months of no pills, there is no point in a "wait and see" approach to getting regular periods. I hope you get pregnant soon!
