A member asked:

How long after i stop taking birth control am i going to bleed? i'm also looking to conceive.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you stop your birth control at the end of the pack, after your placebo pills, you should ovulate about 9-14 days after and then period should start about 28 days later.
