A member asked:

When will my periods come after i stop the contraceptive pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: It is hard to predict. Some women have their first period after pills right on time. Others have a delay called post pill amenorrhea which can be normal for up to 1 year. Most are somewhere in between. I wish I could be more specific but there is a wide variation.
