Seems like high estrogen was the cause of irregular menstrual periods in the first place. Birth control medicines just provide the hormones from outside and their withdrawal leads to period like bleeding. High estrogen in the body could be a response to stress hormones or also genetically determines as in pcod. Manage a healthy weight, eat better, relieve stress. Get yourself tested for pcod profile and consult a gyneac for a pelvic ultrasound to see any underlying Pathology in case conception is the issue
