A member asked:
How many days after taking your last birth control pill should you expect your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal bleeding: Usually withdrawal bleeding starts 48-72 hours after finishing your active pills. But it is anovulatory bleeding (no ovulation) so it is possible not to bleed at all or very scantily.
