Is It Normal To Miss Periods After Stopping Birth Control Pills?

Hi, So i have been on birth control for a couple years, in december i couldn't get a refill so I went off of them for a month. I didn't wait til i got my period to go back on them, i just waited a complete month from when I went off of them. I never got my period for that month, is that normal? I am also supposed to get my period tomorrow as per my normal old schedule... Normal or not?

Hi,
No it is not normal. Missed periods is a side effect of taking prolonged birth control pills. Do not worry . You can take tablet Deviry for 5 days and stop . You will get your periods.
