See your doctor: Stopping birth control that you may have taken for a while may cause a change in your cycle pattern. Consider your cycle history before you started birth control, your cycle pattern while on it, and the particular birth control you were on. These answers may provide you guidance. It can take a while for your normal cycle to return. See your doctor to rule out pregnancy and offer help.
