How long did it take for your first cycle real period to start after stopping the pill?

Question

Stopped my birth control pill on the 19th January, no real period yet however just spotting. Interested to know how long it took everyone not including withdrawal bleed. And if you had any symptoms please feel free to share :)

Answer

BC pills for 6 years. Off for 4 months and not one sign of aunt flow.

Answer

No period no withdrawal bleed. On month 2 now so we’ll see. My doctor is having me coming in at month 3 and if I haven’t gotten it by then, she’s going to run some test.

Answer

I took my last bc January 19 had the WD bleed 5 days and didn't have a period in February I spotted 4 days before the app said my period was going to start but didn't have a period at all in February.... I thought I was pregnant had some of the symptoms but that wasn't the case... it took 43 cycle days after bc for AF to come back....

Answer

I went off the pill Jan. 25. I’m on CD 38 still waiting for AF (BFN today so that’s not it). I have backaches but that might be from working out.

Answer

Thank you for all replying, maybe I have already been on my period without realising with my spotting and need to wait for the next month for it to come more heavy :/

Answer

I was on the pill for nearly 15 years! After my withdrawal bleed my next period was about 3 weeks late and quite light x

Answer

I was on the pill for 14 years and have had 3 regular periods for the last 3 months (I got off in December). The first was 8 day, 2nd 4 days, 3rd 5 days.

Answer

I was on for 10 years, December I had two “periods”, January I had a period but I don’t think I ovulated, February was my first real one

Answer

I was on the pill for 7 years. For the first month after stopping, my period was one wipe. For the second month, it was two wipes. By the third month, it started to resemble a period again. It took about 6 months for it to become medium-heavy.
