Brief Answer:
yes, it could be the reason

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Yes, stopping contraceptive pills can cause irregularities in menstrual cycles. It is possible that you have the periods again due to hormonal imbalance caused by discontinuing its use.

Do not worry about this; it should settle down by next one or two cycles.
