A member asked:
Around how long will i get a real period back after stopping birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4 weeks: Birth control pills are out of your system about 7 days after you stop them. One would expect a period about 4 weeks after cessation. If you are sexually active and do not want to be pregnant consider restarting or starting a different birth control method
