Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Irregular bleeding after stopping pills could be attributed to the discontinuation of the birth control pills. Consider visiting your gynecologist for a thorough examination along with a complete hormonal analysis and ultrasound scan to look for any hormonal derangements and ovarian/uterine problems. Get started on treatment as indicated by your investigation results to control bleeding and regulate your periods.
Take care.
