I've always been very regular, and I am also on BC. However, since I started this WOL in May 2003, my periods have been erratic. For several months in a row, I would have 4-5 days of bleeding starting Tuesday of the 2nd week on the pill pack. Then I would have my regular 4-5 days during the 4th week with no pills (or non-hormone ones, if you do that). Since then, my TOM starts while I still have a couple of days left on the pill pack.

Anywho, yes, it is erratic. But I do take a low-hormone pill. I find that I have to take my pill within the same 15 minutes every day to be as regular as possible now. Before I was okay if it was within a few hours of the same time every day.

It is kind of annoying, but my doc just said to keep taking my pills for the next 6 months at the same time every day and see if I end up becoming more "regular" again.
