 Stopping the pill sometimes affect your whole metabolism and it is normal to experience changes in your period cycle.
Hormones may need to reajust without the help of medication (which was added by pill).
Stress can also affect period. If you do not get your period over the next few days, return to doctor and ask for a womb scan to test for cystic ovaries.
It may nothing to worry about but in doubt get it check out.
Take care x

 When I stopped taking the pill first time round I didn't have a period for two months and then they were irregular for the next six months or so. It's just your body reacting to the change. Nothing to worry about while the pregnancy test is negative but take another test if your period hasn't started within two weeks.

Don't worry too much it'll return to normal eventually.
Not sure whether it's happenned to you but it happenned to me and some of m friends - your period takes several + years to settle dance when you first get it, especially condiering stress and any pills and the diet you are on. My period took 7 years to sort itself out properly.
Just concentrate on having everything else on track such as proper diet and excercise and this will help - don't get stressed out etc.
It'll eventually be regular again and if you are really concerned go see a doctor.

 I dont think that there's a lot wrong. I think its just that your body is readjusting to you stopping the pill thats all. It can take a while for the hormones to leave your system and for your periods to settle into a routine. If it continues then pop along to your health clinic or GP and get some professional advice. x
