Irregular periods after stopping BIRTH CONTROL.

Resolved Question:

I stopped taking my birth control in March. Normally my periods would only last 4 days. In July it only lasted 3 days. In August it was 4 days late and only lasted a day and a half. In September it was 4 days late again and only lasted a day and a half. I have taken at least 5 pregnancy tests and also did a blood test in August. Everything has come out negative. I'm not sure what else could be the problem..

Hello
Thank you for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
So much of a variation is sometimes normal.
Give yourself 6 months or so, after stopping birth control, for your cycles to stabilize.
So they should be fine from October onwards.
Meanwhile many factors can impact the menstrual cycle - stress, anxiety, emotional turbulence, weight changes, travelling, smoking, late nights, erratic eating.
What is your age ?
Have you got your thyroid levels checked ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Take care,
Regards.
