A member asked:
If you stop taking birth control suddenly, can that delay your menstrual cycle for months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Usually you will have what we call a withdrawal bleed when you stop them abruptly. Some women have very irregualar menses when not on the pill and may not do this bleed. You should be seen for labs and a pregnancy test.
