How does the "pill" work?

My friend has been taking the pill for ages....

she stopped and she says it takes 4 weeks for her period to come... but its been 7 weeks since she stopped...

wot could this be?

 

for a friend of mine it took over a year for her period to come back, this is not normal though.

 

Could it mean that she is pregnant?

She has had sex with condoms since, is it common for the period not to come back so quick?

 

It could also depend on where, in the pill pack, she stopped taking them. It is possible to get pregnant on the pill, so there is always a chance she could be pregnant after getting off the pill.

Chances are...her body may be readjusting to NOT having the hormones in her body.

The pill works by stopping ovulation...if you don't ovulate, you won't get pregnant...but it doesn't always work that way.

 

I got pregnant on the pill.
She should take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
If she's still having sex, why did she stop taking the birth control anyway?

 

Works just like = Drano

 

Hormes that simulate pregancy and thus tell the body not to release any eggs.
