For some women, especially those who've been taking the Pill for a long time, it may take several months to a year for their menstrual cycle to get back on track.

How long have you been off the contraceptives?  If not too long it could be your cycle just getting back on track.\nIf you were miscarrying it would be very heavy and clotty.

You might miss your period. You might experience what is called "break through bleeding" or bleeding while taking active pills. If you start the pills midcycle, it could take a few months for your period to regulate itself with the pill. This is okay but, side effects may be worse when starting. Remember to use back up contraceptives for at least 7 days after starting 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 betcha! I'm on my period right now cuz I missed two damn pills!! And I was in the middle of my damn pack. (Sorry if thats too much info lol.)\n\nWhen your not on any BC, you period comes every 28-35 days depending on ur cycle. Right? It knows when to come. BUT when your on birth contol, the pill is tricking your body to think its pregnant, so it prevents your period, and when you stop taking these pills your body knows your not preg and starts getting rid of the blood, fluids and uterin lining (i.e. your period). So, considering we're all tricking our bodies, you could have your period, go on your pills for a week or two, stop taking them and it would come again. \n\nIt sucks, I know, but its a good way to remember to take your pills or you will suffer the consequences of getting your period more then you should. And I'm sure we can all agree that thats the last thing we need or want.\n\nP.S.- If your period comes, DO NOT try and stop it by taking your pills when you're already bleeding, it will make your period heavier and longer! Trust me. (This is a whole nother subject that I'm not even gunna get into unless you wanna know, then by all means send me an e-mail.)\n\nHope this helped!\n\n****** I just read the answer above mine, ok NO, you never have to take a break from your pills! If you don't believe me, look it up on the net or ask your doctor! Taking a break is completely unnecessary. The pills need to be constantly taken to be regulated in your body. If not, they won't be effective towards pregnany. *******

You shouldn't get it until you stop taking the hormones. It usually takes like 3 or 4 days for me to get it AFTER taking the hormones..Make sure you still take the placebos anyway..it really helps to keep you on track..And it may be a few months before your body regulates itself..

It is best to wait the 3 months to allow the birth control medicine to leave your system. While the medication left in your system may not cause defects or problems directly with the fetus, it may cause you to have problems carrying the child to term through miscarriage. Give yourself the 3 months to lessen the chances of that, it's not something you want to experience.

if you've jus come off the pill, give it 6 months for a period, longer go to your gp. if your trying for a baby, then dont worry at all, and if u dont want one, then its time to invest in a pregnancy test. Then head to your gp or local family planning centre depending on the result.

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.

Your doctor should have told you that... but some birth control pills take up to a month to fully work! Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist!

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.

OMG ... those things are still in use? I thought this birth control method was obsolete! 3 months is average if my memory serves correctly. Listen to your body; if you start feeling overly tired or are experiencing unusual cramping, go back to whoever inserted it and get it removed.\n\nIUDS have been attributed to infertility problems and uterine hemorrhage. Please consider another birth control method for your health and safety.

Your body is adjusting to the pill.  It may take a few months for your body to adjust to the pill.  It's normal.  You may also experience spotting or abnormal periods during the next few months too.

Typically after a year of use, more than half of women do not have a period.  After 2 years, 68% of women are not menstruating. After the last shot of Depo Provera, it can take over 6 months for the drug to leave the body. Side effects may linger until the drug is completely gone.
