Basically should I be concerned.

I wouldn’t say to be too concerned. Going off of birth control was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! Might just have to look into some other solutions to get it all figured out

I don't think you should be concerned unless it happens more frequently. I think your body is just getting used to it so your cycles will fluctuate at first. If it happens more and it's not consistent after a few months then I'd go to a doctor and tell them about it. Personally I suffered from an eating disorder in the past and I remember my periods were weird and not consistent I didn't even have a period in October but now I'm in recovery and they seem to be coming really close to each other so I have to wait a few months for it to even out since it's getting used to the cycle and stuff. And our hormones are fluctuating too so it'll take time. Patience is key!

Hi! Depending on the birth control and how recent you stopped can heavily effect that sort of thing. If you don't mind talking to your DR or GYN, then I think you should make an appointment. It's always good to check with them on things that seem outside of the normal for you. If you would like to avoid making an appointment just yet, I think you should be just fine in waiting it out. 😊 I would probably make an appointment if it doesn't come by the next time you should be starting though.
