I am used to taking the contraceptive pill continuously, but I didn't have any menstruation last cycle. What should I do?

When stopping continuous birth control pills, it is common for women to experience a temporary absence of menstruation as the body adjusts. This is because the body has become used to not preparing the uterus for a fertilized egg. Rest assured that this is normal and not a sign of any health issues or pregnancy. Most women who have been taking birth control pills continuously should be able to conceive as soon as they stop taking them. In general, there is no delay in fertility caused by continuous birth control pills once they are stopped.
