Most women who were irregular prior to the pill are irregular after
discontinuing the pill. The chance of post pill amenorrhea (no period
after stopping the pill for several months possibly) is about 1-2 % and
most likely with women who were irregular. Most get their period within
a few months
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
