Were your periods crazy after going off birth control for the first time in years?

Question

I went off birth control in october. My first period started November 2nd and was heavy for seven days and stopped. It started again November 16th, even heavier for another 7 days. It started again 2 days later, I'm still on it. What it going on!?!

Answer 1

Yes, when I went off the pill one time several years back my period was very crazy for several months before finally adjusting. This occurs because the body is trying to adjust to being off the medication. It can take up to 3 months to have the body fully adjust to the changes going on inside of it, not having the medication.

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
