it can take up to 6 months to a year for it to completely be out of your system, this is definately normal, some women don't have a period for months after stopping the pill and others have it right when they should. every woman is different, just give it some time and your period should return to normal.

It would be best to ask your doctor, but most likely this is normal since you stopped birth control. It can take some time to get pregnant after stopping the pills. It would be worth it to go anyway to get a good physical before you get pregnat to make sure everything it ok. \n\nYou said that you had no one to go with you to the doctor. Do you mean to drive you there? Or for communication needs? If is because of communication, you have the right to have an interpreter (at least in the US). Your doctor will need to provide one for you, you just have to request one. If you have asked before and they won't do it, then they may need some help understanding ADA law. Contact your state's Deaf and Hard of Hearing agency to get some help in advocating for yourself. I'm including a few links for you about ADA and information about state agencies. I hope this will help! Also... if you do not sign there are also "oral interpreters" that might be of help. I'll include information about that too.

i could be wrong but i dont think your body needs to adjust. if anything it might take a week or so since your body is so used to the pill. but even pack says that if you "forget" to take a pill that it highers your chances for getting pregnant. Im assuming its the same when stopping the pill. I hope this helps if not then I would call your womens health doctor, they would definatly know.

Depends, they say it takes 1/2 the time you were on it to become fertile again. I was on it for 5 yrs. and I got pregnant @ a year after I'd stopped getting the shot.

no but it will take a year or two after you stop taking them for you become back to your full fertile point.

I used to get the Depo Provera shot, which is almost the same as the pill. I started getting it when I was 15, was on it for 2 years and then stopped. It took almost a year for me to get my period. I recently started again a few years ago and have been off of it for a little over a year and my period still isn't regular. My OB/GYN said that it can take up to 2 years for your body to rid itself of the birth control (whether it be the pill or the shot) and go back to normal. Just be patient. It'll balance out eventually.

not long I fell pregnant straight away when I went off the pill.

It all depends how long you were on contraceptives.  The longer you were, even if you came off it, the longer it will take for your body to find its hormonal and natural balance again.  The estrogene pill is the one that will give you that type of irregularity.  I take you were on those, specially if you are under 40.  The progesterone anticontraceptive wont give you that as it is a much milder drug, usually prescribed for females over 40s, when the risk of pregnancy is considerably lower.

You're lucky, I turned into a raging bleeding psychopath the whole time I was on Depo, and heard from aquaintances later that most of them had bad results. I used to take the pill, and it was wonderous -crampwise, moodwise, and anti-pregnancy wise until I started getting bad reactions to it. Have you tried the pill? I am considering trying the patch next, but suspect due to the whole hormonal thing that it won't work out. I'm starting to become suspect of any product that prevents pregnancy by interfereing with your body's chemical systems, and am leaning towards physical interference - like surgery. But that's not really an option if you do eventually want to have kids. Talk to your doctor before going off the shot because if it IS working for you, it's too bad you have to change... sometimes you hear stuff like the 2 year rule and it just isn't true.

Just see your gynecologist.  He will do a complete exam, get a current history and, if there are no contra-indications, will put you back on the pill.

it all depends on what your cycle was like before you started the shot. if you were irregular when u started then chances are u will be irregular when u get off. it may take up to 2 yrs or more for your body to get back to where it was before the shot. You may want to bring this up with ur OB the next time you visit. I totally understand wat you are sayin i was on the shot for 5 yrs and  now its going on 2 since i have been off and the time of periods change sometimes i have one and some times i dont. but talk to your OB

I was on Depo Provera for about 4 years.  When I went off it, it took about 3 months for my period to return.  So no, I don't think anything is wrong.  My ob-gyn said if I don't have one after about 3 months, then contact him.

Do use backup contraception till you start your second pack of pills.  AND remember birth control pills do NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.  Please be safe!

I had the same thing happen to me and my birth control wouldn't stop it. You should visit the doctor but what he told me was to keep taking the pill until the pack was finished then he started me on some with lower hormones.And within a few days I was back to normal.

DO NOT try the Depo-Provera shot, then. I used it & gained weight, had wierd mood-swings & periods that lasted 2 weeks at a time

1.) Yes, you can get pregnant after coming off the pill. For some women it takes a while for their cycle to return to normal. For some it only takes a few weeks or a month. Talk with your gynecologist to decide what pill will be best for you. \n2.) Remember when starting a new pill side effects can last anywhere from a week to three months so give it a fair go. It is better to just stay on it straight through versus going on and off. Going on and off can seriously whack your body/cycle and emotions out because your body will be constantly having a change in the hormones. And your periods would be all over the place.\n3.) Every pill will affect different people differently. That's why I say check with your doctor. I DON'T recommend the shot(Depo Provera) because some of the more common side effects are constant spotting and weight gain. Also it can take months or even a year after you go off it to have a regular cycle back. You may want to try a low-dose pill because of previous emotional side effects. Something like Ortho TriCyclen Lo or that new Nuvaring(you only have to remember that once a month!).\n\nGood luck.
