I have been off birth control pills now for 4 months and have only had one normal, but late period. It came two weeks after I stopped the pill. Then I didn t have one for a little over 2 whole months. Now I ve been bleeding on and off for the past month. Sometimes it s very light and seems like it may be stopping and then other times it s very dark and even has some stringy clots in it. No other symptoms or any pain whatsoever. I feel normal other than the sporadic bleeding. Any clue as to why I m not back to normal yet? Before I started birth control, it was an average of 5 days of bleeding. I was on the pill for 3 years exactly. Any advice is appreciated.
