Q: We're excited to begin our family. I stopped taking birth control in December. I had two "regular" periods starting January 7th and then again on January 21st. Since then I haven't had a period. I'm wondering if I need to come in? Or if it is normal to get back in the swing of things once you stop birth control? My annual appointment isn't until the end of April, but should I try to get in sooner?
A: If your periods were irregular before taking birth control they may become irregular again once you stop using it. Skipping two months is certainly not normal. Assuming you have a negative pregnancy test we may want to do some other testing to figure out why your cycles are so irregular. I can see you sooner if you would like. Call for an appointment and tell our scheduler you're having irregular cycles and trying to get pregnant and would like to be seen sooner to discuss the problem. Thanks! ~Lisa
