Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
This should not worry you since this is common scenario after hormonal therapy is stopped. You just need to be patient and your period will stabilize in next 6-8 weeks. It will not affect your fertility or pregnancy chances. If there will be prolonged irregular period then you can consult your gynecologist and have another course of estrogen hormonal therapy but in most cases this wont be necessary.

I hope I have answered you query
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
