Fresh off the pill and frequent spotting?

[Justmarried2]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum. My husband and I have been NTNP since October 2012.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced frequent spotting after coming off the pill? Here is my story: Previous to being on the pill my cycle was usually 25 days. Now after 5 years of being on the pill and things are crazy:
Came off YAZ in June 2012 and after withdrawal bleed first cycle 29 days normal period, then started bleeding early next 3 cycles at day 18, next month day 16, then next month day 17-those short cycles the bleeding was mostly brown discharge with light bleeding. Then my doc put me back on the pill for 2 months straight to try to "reset" my period. So October I had a BCP withdrawal bleed, then next cycle had a normal period staring on day 25, then again spotting next cycle on day 18. I had an ultrasound done in October and it came out normal so doc thinks my hormones are just sorting themselves out. Doc says that my body is getting used to natural hormones and I need to "relax" (grrr) and my period will sort itself out. These spotting episodes last for ~ 1 week just enough to drive me crazy and (sorry TMI)barely enough to fill a tampon.
Anyways I know I am likely not ovulating but I don't know what is going on here. Has this happened to anyone else fresh off the pill and then did things sort themselves out? I wish I had come off the pill earlier before NTNP

it can be annoying hun but your body needs time to sort itself out, you have been giving it fake hormones for some years and it needs to start to produce those on its own again

Thanks lynnikins for the response!

I know I need to give my body time but I am having a hard time being patient. It is frustrating when I am praying for AF to not show up, but then I just keep spotting It is heartbreaking because first of all I'm not pregnant, but also because I'm worried something is wrong.

Has anyone had this happen and then did it sort out? If so how long did it take after coming off the pill?

Thanks so much!
