Re: crazy periods

I'm sure you'll want a doctor's advice, but it sounds like your body is adjusting to being off the pill. I went off the pill in July and had a 48 day cycle and a 58 day cycle. It has been driving me nuts. The doctor here said it was probably post pill amenorrhea or persistent corpus luteum. The presistent corpus luteum, from my understanding, is when your body continues maintaining a high progesterone level after ovulation, sort of "tricking" your body into thinking it's pregnant. The progesterone needs to drop in order for you to get your period (if I remember correctly). Good luck.
