Hi,
its normal to have some withdrawal symptoms like withdrawal bleeds and cycle irregularity after birth control pills are stopped, This often takes some time, at times up to three months for your cycle to become regular. With this in mind, note its a bit difficult now for you to use the rhythm method as he only control method. Barrier methods like condoms could be helpful as you wait for your cycle to regularize.
Thanks and hope this helps,
