A member asked:

So here's the question when i was on birth control i had 28 day packs does that mean i have 28 day cycles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: That is not necessarily your natural cycle length, cycle maybe variable. The bc pill will interfere with your hormone levels and prevent your normal cycle.
