Hi,

I'm new to these boards.

I was curious if this has happened to anyone else?

I have been on the pill for 11 years, and Ortho-novum for 6 years. I have always been VERY regular, and my periods lasted 3 days.

Well, I had my last period August 2003. I was in a car accident in August (nothing serious), but it did cause quite a bit of anxiety and stress. Although the stress and anxiety has subsided, my period is gone. I do go through normal PMS and light cramping when my period is supposed to be, then that's it.

I went to my doctor, and she said that it is common for some women to stop having their periods while they are on the pill. Well I have looked online and have not found any information about this... (doesn't seem common). She said I will probably never have my period again while on the pill. She joked that I was one of the lucky ones, and will save $$ on tampons.

I am just curious if any of you have heard of this, if any of you are going through the same thing, or have any info?


Thanks so much, sorry for the length.

Take Care,
Jamah
