What Causes Light Bleeding After Stopping Femilon Contraceptive Pills?

Hi my age is 25 years. i have stopped using femilon contraceptive pills. My last period was on oct 18th 2011. I have used these contraceptives for 6 months and then discontinued on oct 14th 2011 after completing my 21 pills pack, then i got period on 18th. Now on oct 30th i am having light bleeding which is pinkish or some times bright red. What could be the cause of this ? Is it the side effect of stopping the pill. Is there any thing that i have to be worried about.

Hi

After stopping hormonal birth control, most women will have withdrawal bleeding within two to four weeks. After this withdrawal bleeding, your natural menstrual period should come back itself the following month.

When you stop taking birth control, you might not see regular periods for a few months. You might see irregular spotting, lighter periods than you're used to or a heavier flow, a longer or shorter period, or no periods at all for the first month or so.Your body needs to adjust and regularise the hormone levels.You can wait and watch the bleeding pattern in the next few cycles which will regularise with time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
