So i stopped taking the birth control pill on august 13.I had my august period and my september period on the 29th.But i never had an october one.Last week (the 5th, the 7th and the 9th)i had spotting like it was only on the tp but not like leaking.Anyway on sunday the 11 my period started with full force.Today it tapered off and quit but its now back.My period was irregular before but this has never happened to me.Its very bothersome and I want to know when will it stop.As well as if anyone else has had this issue.Im 18 and a virgin btw.And thanks for answering.

Periods can often be irregular, especially when you are young. The pill does stabilize the cycle and often reduces your flow also. if it is bothersome consult your doctor, but it is probably just hormones fluctuating.

I'm not a doctor, but It could be due to stress or weight loss/ weight gain - or even if you have been exercising or active in a strenuous sport lately. It happens. It will probably even out soon. Or - you can go back on the pill to make it more predictable for you.

I sort of had the same thing happen, although im older and have had sex...I heard if you live or are around women your cycle can change. Mine did. I was worried at first too, but my roomates did the same thing to. I was also on birth control for three years. If it worries you so much maybe see your doctor??

When I went off the pill after 5 years mine was all over the place for several months...if you are athletic that also plays a huge part in it too.
I would call the Dr. and ask

Why did you stop taking the pill? Were you on it to regulate your cycle? Talk to your health care provider about causes and treatments. If you've been on the pill for a while, it may take your body time to adjust to not being on it.

virgins can take birth control to help make periods shorter and help get rid of acne.
anyways
i think you should talk to your doctor
