How to regulate my period after not being on birth control for 3 years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Restart hormonal rx: You could restart combination (estrogen and progesterone) in oral contraceptive pills. An alternative to the pill would be the vaginal ring. Either way the combination of the hormones should help regulate your cycle. There are many different pill formulas. Your gyn can recommend the best option for you.
