A member asked:
Had a surgical abortion started the birth control pills stopped after 5months my 26day cycle returned but now my period is 7days instead of 5 normal?

Probably normal: Birth control pills help to make menses shorter and typically less painful. It is very common to have a change in menses when going off the pill. Please make sure to use contraception to prevent unplanned pregnancy if you are sexually active and do not want to have a baby. There are many options other than the pill.
