hi. It is normal in some that they don't get periods for may be a year after child birth. Are you lactating. moreover you are on minipill ( progesterone only pill ) and it is prescribed to take continuously. You don't get periods due to that also. You need to stop it for a week every 3 months to get a withdrawl bleeding. If you are taking it continuously, then also no periods and you can't be pregnant.
The reason for pain can be something else. Get your Hb and Urine routine ex. done.
Thanks.
