Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Missing periods for 1-2 cycles during birth control pill use is common. However chances of pregnancy cannot be ruled out since you were off the pills for some time. Consider visiting your gynecologist for a thorough evaluation (examination, hormonal and blood up along with ultrasound scan) to look for the cause for your absent periods. Get started on treatment as indicated by the investigation results.
Take care.
