I Stopped Taking Birth Control About 3 Months Ago And Havent Had A Period Since Then

I stopped taking birth control about 3 months ago and havent had a period since then and have also noticed an increase in my hair sheeding. Is this correlated? And when you stop birth control is the usually a delay before you begin a regular cycle again?

ya it is definitely correlated and it does take time for the cycles to regularize.
