I wanted to know if it is normal for me to have a missed period despite stopping my birth control pill for 7 days every month and always having my period?

Yes, it is normal to experience a lack of menstruation (amenorrhea) when you stop taking birth control pills, especially if you have been taking them for a long time. This is because the bleeding you experience while on the pill is not a true menstruation, but rather a result of stopping the hormones. Over time, many women find that their bleeding decreases or even stops altogether. However, this should not affect your fertility.
