A member asked:

I went off birth control this month, how will this affect my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Most women stopping oral contraceptives will resume normal periods quickly. If you don't get a spontaneous period by 8 weeks after stopping the pill, call your gynecologist. For more info www.Askyourgynecologist.Org.
