TMI: I'm curious though?

Has anyone else noticed a change in their bowel movements after going OFF birth control? i.e. consistency of your stool or the frequency your going? While on BC I went about 3 times a day and had extremely soft stools. NOW, after being off BC for 3 months I'm going about every 2 or 3 days and my stools are extremely hard and sometimes painful. Too much information but my doctor is no help. Thanks!
