Could I Be In Menopause While On Birth Control Pills And Not Know It?

I am 48 years old and have been on BC pills for over 20 years. I have stopped the pill as my husband has completed his vasectomy and microscopic exam revealed he was clean. I did not have sex with him until after the exam. After my last BCP induced period, I am now 38 days and counting while I wait for a period. Could I be in the midst of menopause? And could it have been disguised by the pill? My hormone check almost a year ago was normal.

    Birth control pills can cause you to feel as though you are in menopause or premenopause. It can take several months after you get off of them to get back to normal.
    I recommend you try bio-identical hormones or USP Progesterone to help get you back on track.
    You should also pick up a copy of my favorite book, “What your doctor may not tell you about premenopause” by John Lee, MD.
