I have stopped taking the pill becasue i have been taking it for 10 years now and felt i needed a break from it. I also had break through bleeding from the most recent pill i was on. Cosequently i decided to have a complete break.
After 3 weeks my first non pill period arrived, and has been here ever since! This was 2 and a half weeks ago. Is this lengthy period just becasue it is my first true period??
Thanks
xxxx

it can take a few months to get back to a normal cycle

I did the same thing. Stopped taking it due to length I was on it and had bleeding between periods.
The first thing I noticed was my cycle was longer. On the pill it regular as clockwork but after mine added about a week. And that plus or minus days not exact every month.
So in short, yes it's normal. It'll take your body time to regulate it's own cycle again, rather than having the pill in the system.
It's frustrating but it does calm down.

This still sounds like breakthrough bleeding (bleeding that acts a lot like a period). It can take several months for the body to adjust to being off the pill so your actual period may not come for a time.
I would recommend checking with your dr as well to see what they say.

I had the same problem when i came off the pill too.Its just your body adjusting to the change!This may take a while as your body is used to having the pill in your system every day for the past ten years.x

Debs
I once came off the pill which I had only taken for a brute of a man. Anyway I had the same thing as you. Don't worry girl, you'll be dry again!

It happens, but this is something you want to have checked out. Some young girls very 1st period is extensive, but this is something you should check out just to be sure. There is a possibility of tear or an infection. That is very extreme, but I would consult a doctor if I were you.

It most likely is due to hormone imbalance. really need more details, for example your age and whether the bleeding is heavy or if it is getting heavier. If the bleeding is light it is probably hormone imbalance and it will sort itself, if however it is heavy still, you should contact your doctor.
