Had a period 17 days ago, been off pill for 2 months, bleeding again. what could it be causing it?

Anovulatory cycles: The most likely explanation is that your body has not yet resumed regular cycles (that release an egg) since stopping the oral contraceptive pill. Sometimes it takes a few months, but if the problem continues, see your doctor. Less likely is a pregnancy with an early miscarriage. A home pregnancy test can rule that out.

Hormones readjusting: It sometimes takes several months for your hormones to readjust after stopping the contraceptive pill therefore you may experience haphazard cycles and irregular amounts of bleeding over the next 6 months. There is usually no need for alarm bells and you should just give it time for the body clock to readjust. If the symptoms continue after 6 months, see your GP for baseline hormone levels check.

A few possibilities: You can certainly get erratic bleeding off the pill. If you are sexually active then important to see your doctor and exclude pregnancy. To further answer this question it would be useful to know how your periods were prior to being on the pill. You may also need consideration of a pelvic exam and smear tests which your doctor may be able to sort out.

Irregular bleeding: Depending on the amount of time you had been on oral contraceptives it may take a few cycles for your body to reset and start normal cycles again. This is normal but you should take a pregnancy test if this is even a remote possibility.

Off the pill: some times it takes a few months to get into regular period pattern after stopping the pills. Make sure your cervical smears are up to date. also se your doctor if bleeding is heavy or more frequent as you will risk getting anaemic . also depends why you were on ills-- if they were for contraception or regulating the periods in 1 st place.

Infection: As the other doctors have said the most common cause is just your body taking a while to get back into its normal rhythm. Another possibility is an infection. If you think you are at risk for a sexually transmitted infection it would be good to get your self tested by your GP, sexual health clinic or family planning clinic
