8 months ago, I decided to skip the sugar pills in my birth control pack (Femcon Fe) so I could avoid my period for a vacation. Since then, my periods have been irregular - one month I will bleed a little, the next I won't get it at all and so on. I had always been regular on the pill prior to this. Should I go off the pill for a few months to reset my period and then go on again? My doctor said I could but that it is not necessary, that my body will go back to normal eventually. I am just worried about this, I feel like my period will never go back to normal.

To ease your mind get off the pill for about 3 months, by then your period should be normal again. Then start taking your birth control pills.
