Coming off contraceptive pill

I came off the pill had the normal withdrawal bleed and a period the month after but now none, I know you're periods may be irregular but I haven't heard of anyone having a normal period and then none I'm not going to bother with a doctor yet as it's still fairly soon to tell if it's an actual issue I'm just curious as to what other people experienced 🤔

I haven't been having sex so that's literally not possible and nothing I said so suggested I don't use condoms anyway
Many things can affect our cycles, stress, poor diet, illness.
If you were taking the combined pill, it may be that your periods are naturally irregular, but because of the hormones in the pill, you became accustomed to the withdrawal bleed. I bled without fail during my pill free weeks. I'm now using non hormonal contraception and my bleeds are regularly irregular, sometimes every 4th week, sometimes 5th week.
If you are sure you're not pregnant, you could see your local sexual health clinic or GP for advice, and track your bleeds for a few months, then go from there.
