What can i expect stopping birth control after taking it for 17 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time will tell: It is impossible to know what you will experience. Most women will resume normal and regular cycles after stopping the pill - however women who are overweight are at increased risk of having irregular cycles due to problems suck as pcos. Again, only time will tell.
