Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
Is this your first time on birth control? Every woman is different. Some bodies have crazy reactions to hormonal birth control and others don't. The hormones whether in pill form, the shot, or the Mirena IUD all work to do the same thing...trick your body into thinking it is pregnant so that you do not ovulate. This messes with how your body was naturally meant to be and confuses the body. Once coming off hormones, your body is confused and it takes a while to get back to normal cycles again.
If you've been sexually active all the way through and your body did not have enough chance to adjust yet to taking the pill and then not, yes there's always a slight chance you could be pregnant. A simple pregnancy test will tell.
For the future: If you want to avoid a hormonal contraceptive, condoms is lowest choice on my list..too many things can go wrong. Along with that is the Diaphragm which you must insert correctly each time and use a spermicide along with. So much trouble and messy and theres still a chance to get pregnant using it...i got pregnant using one. That only leaves the copper IUD not the one called Mirena...that has hormones. Read up on how the copper works. I also used the copper IUD. It was very effective, Trouble free. Read up on line about contraceptives. Don't just read what the Drs and pharmaceuticals have to say, read the many posts by women using different contraceptives and their stories of side effects.
I wish you the best in finding something that works best for you
