A member asked:
I went on birth control for 7months. after getting off it my period was different. it now lasts for 8 days, but only two days are heavy in the middle ?

Likely normal: Any time you change your hormones - starting or stopping birth control, having a baby, nursing, aging - you can expect your periods to change in character. As long as they are roughly monthly and roughly 1 week then there are no worries.
