women who stop using the pill after some years very often develop amenorrhea (lack of menstruation) or a very irregular-late cycle. This condition usually resolves within a few months of  herbal therapy 

The Contraceptive Pill regularizes the periods and makes them scanty. An IUD makes the periods heavier or more painful. If you are on either please refer to your cycle prior before use.

Menstrual Cycle

TCM considers 28 days normal, however I consider the regularity and consistency of the cycle to be more important
