Irregular Menses: It is common for young women to have irregular menstrual cycles: have their periods last longer, come late or miss them all together. In ur case it is probably due to a hormone imbalance from starting then stopping ur birth control pills. Consider restarting the pill or other hormonal contraceptive, especially if your sexually active. Otherwise, your cycles should normalize within a few months.
