You need to be on birth control. You need those steady hormones to regulate your cycles. When you go off a pill you'll have breakthrough bleeding and your cycle will get messed up. If you miss multiples it may result in heavier periods, blood clots, and break through bleeding as well.
You need to KEEP taking BCP's, the reason you're bleeding so heavily is because you messed up your cycle and your body didn't get that stream of hormones that keeps you from having heavy periods.
As soon as this period ends start taking your BCP regularly and DO NOT MISS A PILL.
Call your OB/GYN and discuss with him/her.
U should have never stopped taking ur bc. That was a bad idea. I would call the doc who put u on bc and discuss it with them. Try to get an appointment, and if u don't have time call and tell the nurse its an emerency and they will have the doc call u ASAP.
Please call ur doc.
