A member asked:
When you go off birth control do you lose your period for a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: There is a condition known as post pill amenorrhea which is the delayed return of periods after being on the pill. It does not always happen but can, rarely, last for up to one year. Be careful because ovulation and fertility can resume before your period does. Hope this helps.
