A member asked:

Stopped pill and having extremely light spotting instead of period, light yellow colour and occasional large pale clots no real flow - any ideas?

Takes a while: It takes a while for your body to adjust to stopping the hormonal stimulation of taking the pill. Usually in 3-4 months your periods will straighten out and return to normal. If not see your doctor.
