A member asked:

Is it normal to have your period basically for a while month with only one or two days here and there not having it after stopping the pill?

Dr. Kathy Robinson answered

Yes: Your period can be very irregular after stopping the pill. It can take 3-4 months to get back to a normal pattern. If you are not regular by that time see your doctor for exam and blood testing.
