Is it normal to have irregular periods after using the Pill to stop my period for over six months?

Yes when you were on the pill you were pretty much regulated by a synthetic hormone now your body has to get use to it's on internal clock it is normal and within time it will regulate its self, still use some form of birth control if you don't want to get pregnant but one of the the benefits of the pill or the shot is regulated or missed periods.

I had the same thing happen to me and my birth control wouldn't stop it. You should visit the doctor but what he told me was to keep taking the pill until the pack was finished then he started me on some with lower hormones.And within a few days I was back to normal.

Well, if you have low body fat content, that is enough for you to have irregular/no periods.  Generally dancers and athletes have this problem.\n\nSometimes a BCP (Birth Control Pill) prescription is enough to fix this problem, as it regulates your hormones.\n\nBut enjoy the no mess!  It's a rarity that women get to go this long without anything.  But always have something on you, just in case -- you never know when it may start up on you again!

It often takes a while for your periods to get back to normal after stopping birth control, particularly if her cycle was irregular before she started taking it. Other causes of missed periods include dieting, poor nutrition, extreme exercise and stress. She should visit her doctor in case there is an underlying cause, but I had a similar situation, with no other symptoms, and nothing was wrong. It is also possible that the pregnancy test result was wrong - sometimes, negative results are inaccurate.

Your body is adjusting to the pill.  It may take a few months for your body to adjust to the pill.  It's normal.  You may also experience spotting or abnormal periods during the next few months too.

It can come as late as the last sugar pill or the first days of getting back on the active pills. If it persists, see your doctor. The longer you are on the pills, the shorter and lighter your cycle will be.

Yes, I had severe hormonal problems from being on the pill.  Everyone's tolerance is different, and my body just couldn't handle the imbalance hormonal birth control creates.  It took over 3 years for my body to regulate itself after I stopped taking birth control pills.

I started my pills a week or so after my last period. My doctor said because I wasn't pregnant, it was okay to start whenever I felt like it. It eventually regulated my hormones so I got back on track anyway.

Yes, it is completely normal. Your body is adjusting to the change in hormone levels. \nAfter going off Depo, it can take up to 18 months to resume "normal"periods again. It is even possible to miss a month here and there. \nBut, if you are worried just ask the Dr. about it.

It is normal. I missed my period a whole 3 months when i switched my birth control. But go to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

Some of the common reasons for women to have irregular periods [excluding menapause, pregnancy, miscarrage, birth control etc.] would be a sudden drop or gain in wieght or sudden increase in physical activity.  If none of these apply to you, you may need to contact your doctor.  Hope all is well.  Good Luck!

Nothing wrong with you or your body if it only happens occasionally.  If it continues to happen though, see your doctor.\nI am assuming that you are not taking any hormonal birth control as you did not mention this.  Hormonal birth control (the pill, the patch, etc.) can really mess with your body and sometimes change the pattern of your cycles especially when you are first starting them or just after you've discontinued using them.\n\nI myself have just stopped taking hormonal birth control and I had 3 menstrual cycles in 5 weeks.  Doctor says it is nothing to worry about, my body is just getting back to "normal".\n\nBut if you ever suspect that you are bleeding due to a pregnancy or possible miscarriage, you should take a pregnancy test.

I have been on the pill for 3 years; in those 3 years, I have gone off of it twice, each time for one month.  My period came very late both times, and each time it was heavy and my cramps were very bad.  So, that is normal.\n\nHaving heavy periods is never indicative of pregnancy.  The only time to worry about bleeding being indicative of pregnancy is if your period is only spotting.

I totally feel for you!  I had irregular periods for up to two weeks at a time but only every few months until I got pregnant 4 years ago.  Then I didn't have a period at all due to breastfeeding until 11 months after I gave birth.  Now, every several weeks (5-8, it varies), I bleed for weeks (longest was 5 weeks) until I go to a doctor and get medication to make it stop.  Then it stops for 5-8 weeks and starts up again, same thing! :(  The way I bleed sounds just like you--it comes and goes over the course of a few days--I'll think it's stopping and then bright red blood will come gushing out like I'm a stuck pig.\n\nAll this irregularity started 10 years ago when I went off the pill after being on it for 5 years.  Before that, even as a young teen, I was 100% as regular as clockwork.\n\nBirth control pills do some really wacky things to our systems, so that could be the reason you're having trouble.  Or, it could be something like a cyst.  If your period doesn't stop within a week or so you really do need to go see a doctor.  If they can't solve it within a few months, you need to see another one.  I'm gearing up to get another opinion myself--this time I'm going to a clinic in Boston at Tufts that specializes in menstrual disorders.\n\nGood luck, you're not the only one with this kind of problem!

i hope its not too abnormal becuase thats what happened to me. especially if its only a day or too.. i wouldnt worry. i went almost 2 months without a period after discontinued use of the pill and my doc said everything was fine. i wouldnt let it go much longer though, especially if you have concerns.

13\naround 13\naround 13\n\nDon't worry; it's normal for your period to be irregular for quite a while after you first start. Check with a doctor for reassurance.\n\nYou're fine...you're normal!

Maybe your pills don't have a high enough hormone level?  Are you taking them at the same time each day?  I had some spotting for the first few months when I started the pill at your age, too.  Sometimes you have to switch pills several times to find the one that's right for you.  I was on 4 different ones before I found one I could live with that didn't make me crazy, hungry, break out, and helped me have regular periods.  What did your doctor say?  \n\nI'd give it some time--if you've only been on the pill for 4 months, AND you switched pills in that time, your body will need some time to adjust.  Just be sure to keep communication open with your doctor until you find the pill (or patch or ring...) that's right for you.
