TBH we can't really give you insight. It could be a number of things.

When I was on the pill I had 4 periods in about 3 years. I also gained about 40lbs. I got off of it because I was fed up, and a couple years later was diagnosed with PCOS. The pill didn't cause it, FYI. If you're taking your pill at the same time daily, and not skipping any, the likelyhood of you being pg is low, but sh!t happens all the time. Also know that your metabolism and digestive system will start to change as you get older.

There are way too many variables for a board full of non-medical people to diagnose you. If you're concerned, call your doctor.
