Experience Your period is a natural normal function of your body. Protect your fertility. Birth control pills are bad medicine for something that is delicate and easily destroyed. Now is a good time to quit using the pill.
Question I was on the pill for about a year and I got off it because I didn't like the idea of it and I was nervous of long term side affects.
I stopped two months ago and my period came late and i was told that is normal but another month has gone by and it's late again. Is that normal too?
Answer The pill is a steroid compound. It has side effects that can be predicted and some that are not so predictable. Causing cycle irregularities is a common side effect from the pill even though it is prescribed for the opposite effect. The pill is not "normal" so what happens as a result of the pill is not normal either. It may take a few months to get back to a normal pattern.
