I would have your blood levels checked for the different hormones involved with periods. It could be a hormonal imbalance. This is the most common. If you want a normal cycle they doctors can put you on hormones that would make your body operate on a normal cycle. It could also be Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which a lot more women are developing due to external pollutions, obesity and other factors. Bottom line go the the gyno or the endocrinologist if you want a definitive answer.

I'm also 32 and have been on the pill since about 1998. Stress can be a factor in irregular periods but it's best to see a good gynecologist to sort this stuff out.

Hi. You were on the pill a long time - eleven years. Your body doesn't know it is time to menstruate. especally when you stop taking the pill right afterward this will happen. It happened with me. I went on the pill at 16 and had irregular periods for a long time after I stopped taking them. If I were you I'd go to a gynecologist. They know how to help this.

some women have this, mostly caused by stress

Your hormones are just adjusting back... no worries!
