Post-Pill Period Changes: What to Expect & When to See a Doctor

Question
I Had been on the pill since I was 16 and now Im 24 I got off the pill to give my body a break. I came on my period and I have been on heavy for a week. Should I consult a doctor? is this normal? how long am I goin to be on? This situation with the long period is getting very annoying. What should I do.

Answer
Since you've been on the pill for 8 years, you have no idea what a normal period is like for you.  Your body is going to have to adjust to normal hormones and that can take some time.  Every woman's body is different so there is no way I can tell you how long that will take.
