Theresaw,
When I was finishing chemo, I skipped about 4 periods then went back and have been regular ever since. The only form of birth control I feel comfortable with, since being diagnosed, is with the use of condoms. I don't trust any form of hormone-based birth control. Did your oncologist recommend one?

It is very possible your body is still adjusting, but I would definitely recommend a safe form of birth control and taking a test. Also, I have been taking Flax Seed Oil (with Lignans) for over a year (since being diagnosed), which has helped with hormone balance. You might want to look into that. (My periods are very regular).

Hope this helps.
