I had my daughter May of 07 I had the regular bleeding 4-6 weeks afterwards, but I havn't had a period since. I just stopped breast feeding early March. While I was nursing I was on the pill they have when you nurse. I have now been on the regular pill for 3 weeks and still haven't had a period, Since starting the pill I have been tired and I get cramps every now and then, and bloating which were posted as side effects. I also got cramps after I stop nursing when I was nursing my son in 06. Just wondering if I should be concern. I take the pill everyday at the same time even when I was nursing.

The change from the mini pill and beginning the regular pill could explain why you've missed your period. I wouldn't be concerned yet, wait it out a little longer!
