Hi I stopped the pill at the very beginning of September and have had my first period since then. So far it's been light and brownish. Is this normal? It started a dark red but mainly just been a brownish colour. I feel like it's almost over before it's really started! Anyone had this but gone on to have regular periods and ovulating etc? Starting to worry.

I stopped my pill on 28th or 30th September I can't remember which. Had a period of 4 days, two days heavy and two incredibly light on 26th Oct. I had another period on 20th November which was 4 days of spotting then 2 days of medium flow. Today is spotting again. Everyone is different though. It can take months to get back into the swing.

Since I cane off the pill, my periods were very light with only one day of red blood then a few lighter days in comparison to the full heavy week I previously had when on the pill. The period you get on the pill isn't actually a period. I figured out that the lighter period is my natural period.

Thanks. Mien has literally been 2 days and think it's stopped now. Even then it was ridiculously light. But you're right, it's been so long since I had a really period, I don't know what they're like. Just hoping they're enough to ovulate and get pregnant.
