Are you sure it stopped because of the pill or maybe you have gone into early menopause? If it stopped because of the pill, it will should come back when you stop the pill within a year.

Every women's cycle is different.  If you are on some type of birthcontrol it varies.  Maybe 4-5days , or maybe even up to 7days until you take a certain pill in your pack that will stop it.  If you are experiencing problems you should go see a GYN dr.

It could just be that your body is adjusting to being off the pill. The pill regulates your period and if you've been on it for awhile, your body is not used to having to regulate it without the hormones from the pill. Or it could just be that you have a normally long interval between periods. For some women its normal to only have a period every other month or only once a year. \n\nIf there's a chance you could be pregnant, you should take a test and see a Doctor. Otherwise give your body about 6 months to establish its own rhythm. If you don't have some sort of regularity by that time, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. \n\nThere are also other things that can effect your cycle, such as other drugs, diet and stress.

It can come as late as the last sugar pill or the first days of getting back on the active pills. If it persists, see your doctor. The longer you are on the pills, the shorter and lighter your cycle will be.

Waiting until after your period is important so that the birth control pills can match up to your body's natural hormonal process.  If you take the pill in any other manner its effectiveness is reduced and you should use a back-up method.  Remember, you need to be on the pills for about a month before you stop using your other form of birth control.

If you stopped taking birth control, you are not experiancing break through bleeding. Break through bleeding is a term used only to describe bleeding while taking active hormones. \n\nWhat you are experiencing is a period. If you were irresponsible about going off birth control and stopped half way through your pack, then the bleeding could last much longer than your regular period and your cycle is going to take some time to go back to normal. You messed up your hormonal cycle. If you were smart about it and waited until the end of a pack to go off birth control, your bleeding should only last as long as it usually does each month when you get your period. \n\nSince you are planning on becoming pregnant, you should wait about 2 to 3 full natural cycles to attempt to get pregnant. Right now your body is getting used to being off hormones and you may not ovulate for a few months or experience irregular cycles. It may be better to wait. No worries though, if you were fertile before going on the pill, you should have no problems becoming pregnant soon. \n\nThese sorts of questions should always be directed at your prescribing doctor though, so go see your doc!

If you've been off the pill for more than a week, then you should wait till you get your period next.  Once you get your period, you can do the Sunday start or start immediately.  In the meantime, use a backup method of birth control.

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.

This totally depends on the woman. Some women get back on their regular cycle within 6 months, some others, it takes years. As far as her "sanity" goes, it's just hormones talking. You still need to use good birth control method so she doesn't get pregnant. If she is going absolutely insane, and can't seem to have any reprieve, there are medications that can be used to MAKE her body get back into a regular cycle. My daughter used them. They make her get her period, so she can change birth control, or whatever she chooses to do. Good luck. Be careful, and treat her kindly right now as those hormones can wreak havoc on a woman's body.

It's because of the Plan B. It can take a while for your period to get back to normal. The gyno should have explained this to you.

Yes they do. I stopped having my period for about 8 months one time and when the dr. put me on the pill, my period returned to normal. The flow was lighter and I could always know when to expect my period to start.

Birth control pills, or your menstrual cycle.

YEs it's very, very normal not to have a period after a prolonged course of contraceptive pills, (providing you are using alternate birth control obviously!)\n\nIt can take the body up to 12 months to re-establish a regular cycle after being on the pill, try to enjoy the break from cramping, and don't worry - you know it only makes them later the more you worry!!\n\nIt is basically due to the 'artifical' periods you have when you are on the pill, which are induced and regulated by the hormones.  It just takes the body a while to settle down, and if you are lucky you might just have light spotting for a few months. \n\nTRY AND ENJOY!!

you can't make them regular, but as you get older they will probably become more regular. \ngoing on the pill may not always help. i went off the pill six months ago and my periods are more berserk then they were before i went on.

Not possible. Unless you're on the pill and you mess around with when you stop and start taking them you can't. And even on the pill you'd have to be really careful and speak to your doctor to make sure you didn't become at risk of getting pregnant from taking pills the wrong times.

I don't believe you can. Your pill needs to be a monophasic pill. I believe your particular brand is a tri-phasic. Also if you plan on a trip in a few weeks you would most likely will not have enough time to get your body used to the new dosage. You should talk to your doctor as to the best pill for you but there are now so many  choices that if you would like to determine your cycle I strongly advise talking to your doctor about switching to a  monophasic pill. This will alow you to have your period about every 3rd or 4th month. That's only about 4 a year!

I am having the same exact problem, and am looking into Ortho Tricyclen-Lo, and other low hormone alternatives.  Because I was prescribed birth control specifically to regulate my periods, I don't really have the option of getting off it.\n\nIf you decide to get off of it altogether, VCF (Vaginal Contraceptive Film), is not messy and is effective in preventing pregnancy.  I highly recommend it.
