A member asked:

I was on levlen (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) ed for 7 months now i have stopped it will i get my next period normal do i count 28 days since stopping the pill from my last period?

Maybe: Your first period after stopping BC pills may occur about 28 days from your last period on the pills(not last pill). This is variable though, may be delayed for 2-4 weeks normally. If not trying to get pregnant, use protection during this time as your time of ovulation may be unpredictable
