Hello fiestychick,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
It is abnormal to have vaginal bleeding that lasts for three weeks and for this pattern to persist for six months. You are at risk for developing anemia.
Most women’s bodies will go back to normal hormone production after coming off the pill. It could also take a few months for your body to begin ovulating and menstruating on its own schedule again. Some women will experience a delay before their normal menstrual cycles returns, especially those who had irregular periods before taking oral contraceptives.
But, in your case, six months of prolonged periods warrants a second opinion.
