Light periods after stopping pill

Yeah we are ttc since last June, Iv got a feeling I have hormonal imbalance and that my progesterone is lowering, that is why I am going to the doctors x

Same here Rainy. It's frustrating as my periods are now even lighter than they were on the pill!

Are you actively TTC? DH and I aren't as I don't feel ready to give up my freedom yet but I was keen to get my body back to normal well in advance so we are currently using the withdrawal method! But now I feel like we should start trying sooner in case it takes a while and I'm 27 so at least age is a bit more on my side if there is a problem!

Lookingforadvice i was on the pill for ten years and before i had good flow of blood when it was the time of the month and would last between 4 to 6 days, now i am lucky if i get a day and a half of bleeding, usually the first day is an ok flow then just goes really light and then nothing, really wish when i was put on the pill there were warnings to how it can mess with your body

So glad to hear others have found the same! I came off the pill in August, had my usual withdrawal bleed (3-4 days) then every period since has been really light, but regular as clock work every 28 days. I swear they're actually getting lighter and it's about 24 hours of proper bleeding (only needing a light tampon) and a bit of spotting either side. I told the doctor and she said oh yes that is light but as they're regular then I wouldn't look into it further.

Not actually TTC yet but do worry about when we do, especially as my periods were heavy (7 days with regular and super tampons) before going on the pill nearly 10 years ago.

Thanks Summerlovin32 , as soon as i have been i will report back to tell you what they say

HRMC87 I came off the pill mid December, had a post pill bleed as usual, my periods were regular after that but very light in jan/feb and got my BFP a week ago. Good luck

I came off pill last May, and have only had 4 periods.. Going to see doctor to get a blood test, and got a scan of pelvis next month, as before I had my toddler I had super regular 27 day cycle! Sooo frustrating! Hopefully we all settle down soon..

Rainy34 please let us know how you get on, would be interested to hear what they say, good luck x

I have been of the pill over 12 months and i am still having light periods, i also suffer with spotting a week before AF is due, i am going to the doctor next month to see what they can do for me

I came off the pill last July. Had really regular, light periods until Dec, when I was 2 weeks late. Period, when it finally came, was just as light as usual. Last month it was even lighter, but this month it's finally back to its pre-pill heavy flow! Think it just takes a while for the body to get back to normal. X

I came off the pill just over a year ago, been ttc since sept with no luck! My periods came back straight away & are pretty regular but are still very very light, thinking I should prob go to gp? would be interested to hear from others who have had this!
