    Going off birth control hormones can definitely make you irregular as your body tries to figure out what's going on. I hope you have an alternate plan in place in case you and yours do get "in the mood" before your next birth control method is set up...unless you want to get pregnant.
    But really, you just need to get your checkup and ask the doctor all your questions. Make a list of questions before your appt, and bring it with you.

    For someone who has sex rarely, a diaphram w/spermacide or a sponge w/same, or a cervical cap, might be smart choices. Easy enough to use after a little practice. Or yes, even a condom. Forgive me, but it seems like overkill to be on the pill 24/7 if you only have sex once every few months. But the pill certainly does regulate one's menstrual cycle, I'll say that much!
