Stopping Birth Control. How Long for Period?

Question

How long did it take for your period to return back to normal after you stopped taking birth control? I stopped 4 months ago and now my periods are super irregular and are unpredictable. Before starting the pill I always had regular periods and started on the 9th of every month. Now I'm lucky to start the week of the 9th. They literally start whenever, and according to eve I am 4 days late, and my other app says I'm 9 days late. I do get my periods, just whenever. I'm a little moody and my forehead broke out, so I have symptoms but it never starts. I am TTC and this is making it hard to know when I'm ovulating! Anyone else experience this?

Answer

I stopped taking the pill June 2015 and I didn't see my first period until August or September I think. in the last few years of being on the pill my period was very irregular in the sense that it was dark brown and very slow flow. So having bright red blood and lots of flowing seem to regular to me but that was actually normal.

Answer

I am having the same issue. I stopped 5 months ago and am very irregular. I was irregular before I was ever on BC though so I expected it. It does make it hard for us to conceive though. I've taken OPKs but I feel it's still hard to really know. I'm currently 4days late and it's frustrating. Good luck to you.

Answer

When I stopped mines, the next month I had it. I guess I'm just regular off and on the pill.
