A member asked:
I stopped taking birth control pills in february, now i've begun to notice that my periods have been late. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : You do not ovulate on birth control pills so when you stop them it can take a few months for your cycle to get back to normal. Also if you did not have regular periods prior to taking the birth control pills your periods will be irregular again off the pill.
