What should I do about my periods?

starting in October I went off the birth control pills. I starting lightly bleeding two weeks after that I went off it and then four weeks after that I starting bleeding which made me be about two weeks late. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I have been having unprotected sex since I went off it. I haven't yet gotten pregnant and my period was on time early this month but it was still light and it only lasted for about 4 days instead of my usual 6 days periods. My periods are always on time and I don't problems with irregular bleeding. I don't have health insurance to see a doctor and I would like to know some natural ways to get my period on track.

    Abnormal periods are a very common symptom of birth control as many people find it hard to keep track of. I have experienced the same problem this year, I visited the doctor and his advice to me was to come off the pill completely for 6 months. I have been off them for about 4 and my periods are completely normal. I suggest you should do that too, and whilst doing so use condoms to be on the safe side.

    Good luck.

    you are going to have to go see a doctor or a planned parent hood and they can probably help you get birth control again to regulate your period and they maybe able to use herbal treatments to get you back on track
