Amenorrhea after stopping birth control???

Hi! I stopped birth control around Christmas after being on it for about 2.5 years. I had a period 1 month after that (in January), but as of the end of April, I have not had another one. I know that amennorhea is common after quitting birth control, but I just think it is odd that I’ve had a period since birth control, and THEN quit having them.

I don’t have PCOS that I am aware of. I had 1 ovarian cyst in February 2015. I am also not on any medications other than an acne med, which I just started.

Thoughts???? Thanks!
