Light Period After Birth Control

So I haven't had a period for a while and I had to stop birth control and I was wondering is it OK to have a light period and short one?

Hi maria,

Based on what I've seen other women post here (including my fiancé), a short period doesn't appear to be too uncommon and in most general cases shouldn't spark up any concerns; especially after coming off something like birth control - which alters your hormones and therefore has an impact on your menstrual cycle (since the two are directly related in many ways).

So if you ask me, my opinion is that everything should normalize as the body begins to adjust to not having the added hormones from contraceptives. However, it may just be another month before you have a chance to see the difference as things gradually level out.

Lastly, if the timing/severity of your periods constantly remain a concern over time, I would encourage you to contact a local gynecologist who specializes in knowledge of the female reproductive system.

Hope this helps!
