Why Are My Periods Heavier?
Hi, I am 22 years old and have been off birth control for about a year now with my fiancé. The past few months my period has been light and only for about a day or two. This month I got my period On the 10th it was light and only last about two days. And now I got my period again on the 26th and it s a little heavier. I took a home pregnancy test that night and it said I wasn t. Do you have any reason why or what this could be?

Hello,
Thanks for submitting your question here.
As you have quitted pills, invariably you will face some menstrual irregularities.
Pills are usually prescribed for regularisation of cycle along with contraception.
I suggest you to wait for few more cycles for regularisation. You may also have to face spotting, incresed flow or even painful menstruation due to pill withdrawal.
Sincerely
Dr Sanjoy
