it is very common to have irregular cycles after taking the pill. Some folks have them further apart, others get their period every two weeks!

The pill has a lot of side effects. It takes many nutrients out of your body, (esp b vitamins and zinc, and it makes you have too much vitamin A which can cause birth defects) so it is wise to eat really well, take the appropriate vitamins and minerals, and not try to conceive for atleast 6 months after being off the pill.
