How long after stopping birth control were your periods back to normal?

Question

Before BC, my cycle was exactly 28 every time with 5 days of bleeding. Now, it can range anywhere from 29-40 days and that always stresses me out, which delays my period more. How long did it take your period to snap back to normal? I've been off birth control for a while now. I believe more than six months? I can't remember the month I stopped.  I was on it for a year. It's was Microgestin FE 1/20 if that helps?

Answer

I continued a 28 day cycle for 2 months, then had a 21 day cycle and have been 26/27 days for 5 months now. Pretty regular right away.

Answer

I got off bc a year ago and my cycles are very irregular. Before bc my cycles were exactly 28-30 days.

Answer

I stopped using BC three and a half months ago and I haven't seen AF :( (and I'm not pregnant, I have done 3 pregnancy test already)

Answer

I had my first period 28 days after I stopped the pill. Then 28 days after that, and so on. I probably got lucky to go back to being my regular cycle immediately. But I also wasn't on a combined pill, it was a minipill.
