Thank you for asking your question. I hope my reply helps.

It's normal, after being on birth control pills, for cycles to take 3
to 6 months to get back to the pattern you had before starting the
pill. The fact that you do have a period, it sounds like they are
coming about every 5 weeks, is fine even if they are lasting just for a
day.

The absence of pain is good indicating that being on the pill may have
some lasting effect. You can expect your periods to get heavier over
time as the pill effects wear off and the lining becomes thicker.
If your pain comes back, you should return to a gynecologist for help.
