Hi, How are you? Usually after stopping birth control pills the periods might be irregular for some time and there could be change in the amount of bleeding as well. In your case, as the periods started off normally and went on regularly for 3 months, the bleeding that you are experiencing now could not be related to this. Abnormal bleeding for two weeks should be brought to the notice of your doctor. The common causes for this could be perimenopause, hormonal imbalance, thyroid conditions, infections of the vagina or cervix, fibroids or growths in the wall of the uterus. I would suggest that you visit a gynecologist for pelvic examination, pap smear and further advise on treatment. Best.
