It could just be that your body is adjusting to being off the pill. The pill regulates your period and if you've been on it for awhile, your body is not used to having to regulate it without the hormones from the pill. Or it could just be that you have a normally long interval between periods. For some women its normal to only have a period every other month or only once a year. \n\nIf there's a chance you could be pregnant, you should take a test and see a Doctor. Otherwise give your body about 6 months to establish its own rhythm. If you don't have some sort of regularity by that time, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. \n\nThere are also other things that can effect your cycle, such as other drugs, diet and stress.

Switching birth control is always a guessing game because the hormone level in each is so different and you could turn into a pms nazi if you get too much and break out and all sorts of bad things. My advice is to stay on the one you find that is not making you break out and doesn't mess with your moods. Just remember that after 5 years you need to give your body a break and not take anything for 1 year. Diaphragms work great for that time off.

1.) Yes, you can get pregnant after coming off the pill. For some women it takes a while for their cycle to return to normal. For some it only takes a few weeks or a month. Talk with your gynecologist to decide what pill will be best for you. \n2.) Remember when starting a new pill side effects can last anywhere from a week to three months so give it a fair go. It is better to just stay on it straight through versus going on and off. Going on and off can seriously whack your body/cycle and emotions out because your body will be constantly having a change in the hormones. And your periods would be all over the place.\n3.) Every pill will affect different people differently. That's why I say check with your doctor. I DON'T recommend the shot(Depo Provera) because some of the more common side effects are constant spotting and weight gain. Also it can take months or even a year after you go off it to have a regular cycle back. You may want to try a low-dose pill because of previous emotional side effects. Something like Ortho TriCyclen Lo or that new Nuvaring(you only have to remember that once a month!).\n\nGood luck.

You should really get checked out since you are having painful sexual intercourse. Sometimes, when a female gets off of any type of birth control, their periods may become irregular. Speak to your Dr. He may put you on birth control pills to regulate your periods. If you are not interested in any type of birth control pills, you should consider herbs (vitex, ruby raspberry tea ,dong quai, etc.) to help regulate your periods.  I tokk Dong quai for a few months and my periods became regulated. See your Dr. for additional information about the DNC and PCOS. Most times, DNC are given to women who miscarried but could be used for other medical reasons.

Your body may be adjusting to being off of b.c. pills. Usually that would mean irregular bleeding and longer periods. Hope your are ready for motherhood because that sure is a big possibility with the sign and symptoms you have given.

Just see your gynecologist.  He will do a complete exam, get a current history and, if there are no contra-indications, will put you back on the pill.

After about a month of being off of the pill, your periods will be more like the way they were before you started taking birth control.

That's very normal.  If you weren't aware, hormonal birth control (including the pills) essentially make your body think that you are pregnant. When you stop the pills once a month, your body realizes that it isn't, and rids itself of the uterine lining. Since you stopped the pills (particularly in the middle of a pack), your hormones and body are a little confused, and are trying to straighten themselves out.  Bleeding up to the length of a normal-long peridod very normal, and nothing to worry about. However, if the bleeding continues for more than a week, you should go see your gyno or health care provider to make sure everything is ok with your body.\n\nBest of luck,\n\nEssin' Em, www.hotmoviesforher.com

stress, rapid weight loss or gain, illness, drugs (certain tranquilizers) may have disrupted cycle.\n\npregnancy\n\nIf you're on a birth control Pill - brand is too low in estrogen - or if you've stopped BCP body hasn't yet adjusted to life off the pill; see doctor if periods don't resume in 3 months\n\n\nmissed ovulation (no egg released from ovary)\n\nI'd probably see a doctor if you haven't been on any sort of Birth Control and haven't had a period in 3 months.

It would be best to ask your doctor, but most likely this is normal since you stopped birth control. It can take some time to get pregnant after stopping the pills. It would be worth it to go anyway to get a good physical before you get pregnat to make sure everything it ok. \n\nYou said that you had no one to go with you to the doctor. Do you mean to drive you there? Or for communication needs? If is because of communication, you have the right to have an interpreter (at least in the US). Your doctor will need to provide one for you, you just have to request one. If you have asked before and they won't do it, then they may need some help understanding ADA law. Contact your state's Deaf and Hard of Hearing agency to get some help in advocating for yourself. I'm including a few links for you about ADA and information about state agencies. I hope this will help! Also... if you do not sign there are also "oral interpreters" that might be of help. I'll include information about that too.

I was on the pill Yaz or Yasmin for about six months, and I noticed some pretty drastic changes. In the first place, I noticed that my cramps became much less intense and have continued to stay that way even eight months after I came off the pill. But while I was on the pill, I noticed that I was bleeding large clumps, not the usual flow that I normally have (sorry to be gross). I also noticed that I tended to be a bit grouchier as a result of some extra PMS. So it was a kind of trade-off: virtually no cramps and decreased acne, but I grouched at everyone within five feet of me. Yasmin was probably the best pill I've been on and I highly recommend it if you are considering it. Good luck!

your body will produce irregular spotting for a while. You should take a pregnancy test just to be safe and if it comes up negative then yes, it is b/c your body is just reacting to coming off of the birth control and your periods will be irregular for a few months. Also FYI, I am 23 and I have used Depo Prevara and my doctor strongly urged me not to take it anymore b/c it has been proven to be very bad for your bones. My doc says don't take it for more than 2 yrs. otherwise it could cause major damage. Just ask your doc about it.

It all depends how long you were on contraceptives.  The longer you were, even if you came off it, the longer it will take for your body to find its hormonal and natural balance again.  The estrogene pill is the one that will give you that type of irregularity.  I take you were on those, specially if you are under 40.  The progesterone anticontraceptive wont give you that as it is a much milder drug, usually prescribed for females over 40s, when the risk of pregnancy is considerably lower.

If you have just stopped taking your birth control pill you can get spotting in between your periods. if you are at all worried you should seek medical advise, just to put your mind at rest.

I would take them again but you need to be careful and use other methods of protection until you've had a week back on the pill. Another tip, what about a coil, mirena coil, it releases progesterone so you won't forget to take your pill again. Bit undignified at first but I wouldn't look back.

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

I am having the same exact problem, and am looking into Ortho Tricyclen-Lo, and other low hormone alternatives.  Because I was prescribed birth control specifically to regulate my periods, I don't really have the option of getting off it.\n\nIf you decide to get off of it altogether, VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Film), is not messy and is effective in preventing pregnancy.  I highly recommend it.
