Stopping a birth control often throws your hormones out of whack, it can take your body a little while to adjust to the changes. If you are concerned about it you should call your Dr., but my guess is just that your body is reacting to the loss of the bc hormones.

Your period was over just last week and now it's back. Maybe this has been happening regularly the last few months. Maybe it's the first time it has happened to you. Whether it's the first time you have experienced irregular bleeding between periods, or just another month of spotting, metrorrhagia (the medical term for irregular bleeding or spotting between periods) is frustrating and can lead to a lot of worry thinking something is seriously wrong. \n\nWhat is normal menstruation?\nNormal menstrual bleeding lasts about five days, and although it may seem like you are losing a lot more blood, the amount of blood lost during your period is only about two to eight tablespoons. Menstruation occurs on average every 28 days; but, anywhere from 25 to 31 days between periods is considered a normal menstrual cycle\n\nIf you are post-menopausal, or younger than 11 and vaginal bleeding occurs you should consult your physician. It's important to be sure that bleeding is coming from your vagina and not from your rectum or urine. The best time for your doctor to determine the cause of menstrual problems is when bleeding is not active. \n\n\nWhat causes bleeding between periods?\nAlthough the cause of irregular bleeding can vary according to individual health situations, some of the more common causes include: \n\nAbortion \nHormonal fluctuations \nBeginning or stopping oral contraceptives or estrogens \nLow thyroid levels \nStress \nIUDs occasionally cause slight spotting \nInjury to the vagina from insertion of objects, from malignant cancers, or from vaginal infections \nCertain drugs such as anticoagulants \nVaginal dryness \nGYN procedures such as CONE biopsy or cervical cauterization \nIf bleeding is heavy, bed rest may be recommended. Keep a record of the number of pads or tampons that you use so that your physician can determine whether bleeding is abnormally heavy. It's best to avoid taking aspirin because it can prolong bleeding. Whenever you experience irregular bleeding from unknown causes it is wise to call your physician for an appointment, as well as when bleeding occurs after menopause or when other symptoms are present.\n\nBecause bleeding during all phases of pregnancy may be dangerous, you should call your health care provider if you have any signs of vaginal bleeding during your pregnancy.\n\nVaginal bleeding is any blood coming from your vagina (the canal leading from the uterus to the external genitals). This usually refers to abnormal bleeding not associated with a regular menstrual period.\n\nFirst trimester bleeding is any vaginal bleeding during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding may vary from light spotting to severe bleeding with clots. Vaginal bleeding is a common problem in early pregnancy, complicating 20-30% of all pregnancies\n\nPregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.\n\nImplantation Bleeding:\nImplantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. \n\nOther Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.\n\nDelay/Difference in Menstruation:\nA delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleedi

it all depends on what your cycle was like before you started the shot. if you were irregular when u started then chances are u will be irregular when u get off. it may take up to 2 yrs or more for your body to get back to where it was before the shot. You may want to bring this up with ur OB the next time you visit. I totally understand wat you are sayin i was on the shot for 5 yrs and  now its going on 2 since i have been off and the time of periods change sometimes i have one and some times i dont. but talk to your OB

your body isn't used to the hormones yet so its just getting used to it, it may take a little while. when i first wen on The Patch, i got my period for an entire month straight (which was horrible then i missed it the next month thankfully, and got it back regularly the third month. be thankful its not THAT screwed up, your body just needs to get used to it.

Honestly I wouldn't worry.  If it's weighing on you, then call and ask your doctor, but it's quite normal for periods to be shorter in duration and much lighter (and sometimes even non-existant) when you're on the pill.

I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for about five years and had the same problem you did.  Normally, within three months, your body should adapt to the change and you should not have any problems.  However, my doctor told me that several other people that were on Ortho Tri-Cyclen also complained of the same problems I did (bleeding every two weeks, intense pain, heavy, etc.).  She switched to a lower dosage medication and it has been much better.  Give it some time, but if it has not gotten better within three months, do not hesitate and go back to the doctor.

I assume you're asking what it means when you get your period twice in one month, correct?  You're probably irregular which in itself is not abnormal but if you find you are bleeding very heavily you may want to see your doctor to ensure your body isn't having any problems.  My cycles were extremely irregular way into my 20s.  It wasn't until I had children that my periods became as regular as clockwork.

you're fine! Its normal for periods to get all out of whack at your age. I'm 20 and it still happens to me.

It could be your cycle is changing, or your cycle got weird due to outside factors like a change in diet or stress. Look back and see if this has happened before in previous months and also look at this month and previous months to see if there are any outside factors.

You didn't have two periods in one month, you had a so-called break-through bleed which can happen when you switch from a pill with more hormones to one with less. You don't ovulate if you take the pill as instructed.

Something is up, if you've missed 2 periods but your not pregnant...have you been exercising a lot lately? because strenuous exercising can delay a period up to a month. Or it could be something with your kidneys, having high blood pressure and brownish blood in your urine could be a kidney stone or even kidney failure, when your kidneys aren't working, toxins build up in your body and in your blood(hence, the brownish color) and when toxins build up your immune system can turn on you and be, in a way, working against your body rather than FOR it. It can also raise your blood pressure. So, i suggest  seeing a doctor!!!      \n                                      Good Luck!!!

You need to see a gynocologist.  Your march period was way too long. You are losing too much blood.

I did not get a period for 6 months after I had my son and my tubal ligation(both withen 2 days of each other). I bled for 3 weeks after that and then did not get a period for 6 months. The doctor did a preg. test that came back neg. and told me not to worry about it.Eventually it came back. Call your doc.

I dont know what it could be but you should ask to see a different gyno- get on a medical plan because 5 months does seem a little too long too be bleeding like that. be careful you dont become anemic. Is there someone else that works there that would be more helpful?

I would highly suggest you do a pregnancy test however given the elevated estrogen exposure that is normal with the Patch it is possible you will have an irregular period, especially if you have started another form of Birth Control.  Take the test to rule out pregnancy though.

I would call your OB/GYN or family doctor.  I just had one inserted on Tuesday and I'm bleeding heavily with clots.  Kinda scary.  I hope your o.k. but the only way you will know is if you call someone who specializes in this area!
