Periods stopped whilst on the pill - anyone had similar?

The reason I'm on the pill is to regulate my hormones so I have periods (I have amenorrhea) however the past couple of months my periods have stopped (bar some browny discharge for a day). I didn't think this was possible as the hormones in the pill give me an artificial cycle.

Has anyone experienced the same, I'm not sure what to do.

Which type of pill is it?

The mini pill can put a stop to bleeding.

Combined pill will only let you have a 'period' in the 7 day break.

I'm on the mini pill and have had no periods for over 2 years so far. :) One of the best things about it.

Now, if I could just get it to stop giving me truly nasty spots, I'd be pleased.

I'm on the combined pill and have always had periods on my 7 day break, so it's rather a mystery why they have just stopped!
