Is this normal......?(just got off birth control)?
I stopped my birth control febuary 15th. And started my period on the 20th(this was still influenced by my patch). Then in april I started my period on the 16th and it lasted about 9 days. But it was normal.Then I started in the 16th of this month, but it wasnt normal. It would go from being really heavy one day to the next being just spotting? it only lasted about 5 days. but only 2-3 were heavy, Is this normal when coming off of birth control? When should my periods get normal, and stay normal?
I was on the patch if this helps at all.

Very normal. My cycle was really screwed up for the first couple of months. I had a really heavy period to start with that lasted 7 or 8 days (was yuck!), then the next time I got my period, it was really light and much shorter.
Don't stress!

Yeah that is normal when coming off birth control. It takes a while for your body to reregulate. Give it a few more months.

It is very normal to be irregular coming off BC. Your body takes up to 3 months to get back to normal and get used to the hormone change.
Don't worry. Nothing's wrong.
