Hi,
Arrest of bleeding can sometimes occur as a side effect of the pills, but, since you have not seen even one period since you started taking the medication, you should see a specialist for a proper appraisal of the situation. You may need a trans-vaginal sonogram and an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres to exclude/confirm pregnancy and other pelvic causes for the absence of periods. If you have started the medication within 21 days after delivery, you are safe; else, additional contraception is needed in the initial two days. This is because, though ovulation is inhibited in some, it is not necessary in all. Hope this helps.
