Going off any hormonal birth control can cause your period to be irregular. When I went off the Pill I had a period that lasted two months. When I went off the Depo shot I didn't have a period for six or seven months. It will just take some time for your body to readjust to being off the hormones. There is no way to know how long this will take.
