Progestogen only pill help

Hi i stopped taking the progestogen only pill nearly 60 days ago and I have still not had a period. I did a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Surely I should have had a period by now? Any advice would be appreciated

In my experience it can take a long time for periods to come back once you stop the pill. While you take it, it basically controls your monthly cycle for you and your body gets used to having it do this. This means once you stop, it has to restart itself (and start making the progesterone it didn't need to, while you were on the pill). Therein lies the problem. Talk to your doctor about it.
