Not common: Most women will have regular periods even after stopping their pills. If you periods continue to be irregular over the next few months, I would see a gynecologist. However, it could also be just that your cycle off of pills is longer than your cycle on the pills (ie, maybe your cycle lasts ~35 days instead of 28).
