depending on the colour and if you are experiencing any discomfort, you should be ok.\n\nunderstand that the pill does play with your system a lot. you are ingesting large amouts of hormone everytime you consume such pill (including 'the morning after pill') and this will inevitably change a few things.\n\nThe flow, colour and regulation of your period can vary considerably but not so considerably it scares you ( if that happens consult ur practitioner).\n\nComing off the pill will change the way your cycle was, dpending on the woman this can be forever of maybe just a few cycles. so calm down\n\nRemember to always get yourself and your partner checked at the clinic for any possible disease.\n\nIf you experince pain and heavy bleeding it could present itself as PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) which is very serious and can cause infertility so be careful

i felt like that  the first little while but thats very common with any kind of birth control... it can last up to three months... if longer you should  discuss a different kind of birth control more suited for you\n\ntina\nnurse

Its nice to know that I'm not the only one that suffers from that. I want nothing to do with him until around the day the flowing starts, then its like a rush of relief and I fell better. I've been on the pill for over a year and that when I started to notice that come pm-sing time I cant even stand myself let alone a man. I know its not much as far as advice goes but I thought maybe you'd like to know that your not the only one.

Yes this can be normal - because it normally take one full pack of pills (month) for them to actually work and your body to become adjusted.  Unless it continues or gets excrutiating I wouldn't worry to much about 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.

Don't freak out too much, it could be nothing!  I took birth-control pills for exactly the same reason and then just stopped taking them, my body flipped out and I felt really sick and my period was irregular for months.\n\nWait untill you finish your period this time and then start the pills, just as you did the first time.  You're okay.\n\nIf you're really worried, go to your doctor for more information.

The best thing is to see a doctor. However, I had a very similar experience. My doctor watched me and everything worked it self out. His belief was that recovering from being pregnant giving birth, and starting the pill was a bit of an overload causing confusion for my body. Best wishes to your sister.

Good for you, you must be feeling much better, :-).\n\nI hope you're going off it with your Dr.'s help though and haven't just decided on your own to stop taking it.  If you quit 'cold turkey' it can take several week's to start to feel better, but if your Dr. take's you off it, they will 'wean' you so that the withdrawal isn't so bad.\n\nThe Dr. will gradually lower your dose so that you don't feel much discomfort coming off of Celexa and that's the safest, easiest way for your body to adjust.  \nAll the best to you!

I am not sure but I have a friend in the same boat so I am posting a response so I can keep tabs on other answers..It could be birth control related, are you on the shot or were taken off the shot w/in the past year? Break through bleeding like that can happen when going off birth control...well I hope we both find an answer, its not looking too hopeful is it:(

the longer you were on birth control, the longer your body takes to adapt to life without it. your body is probably trying to reset itself and you might not conceive for a while if you were on the pill for a longer amount of time.\n\ntake to your ob/gyn for specifics

It takes 30 minutes from the time you take your pill for it to be absorbed into the body. I have been taking the pill for almost two years now and I still get a little nauseous every time I start a new pack. It's pretty normal, just your body adjusting to the hormones. There is a big chance your eating habits have alot to do with it though, two small meals in two days? That really isn't healthy. Eat 5-6 small meals throughout each day, you will feel and be much healthier.

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.

OMG ... those things are still in use? I thought this birth control method was obsolete! 3 months is average if my memory serves correctly. Listen to your body; if you start feeling overly tired or are experiencing unusual cramping, go back to whoever inserted it and get it removed.\n\nIUDS have been attributed to infertility problems and uterine hemorrhage. Please consider another birth control method for your health and safety.

This is actually quite normal. Some women won't get a period for several months after taking birth control. I wouldn't worry yet about amenorrehea. Your NORMAL! Stop thinking about it and your cycle will pick up again. Your body is tricked into thinking your pregnant when your on the pill and it takes a while for all the hormones to leave your body.

Yes,a lot of women have diferent side effects when they are on Birth Control pills.\nSome have them starting up,others during and still others, like you,have them when they stop.\nIf you want to be on BC,you need to have one that suits you,and you should be consistent with it,to avoid confusing your body and also to  cut down the risk of unwanted pregnancy.\nYou will feel okay within the next 24 hours as your body begins to re-establish its own diurnal rythm.\nDrink lots of water,eat some fruit.
