Welcome to EmpowHER. The use of birth control is to prevent the body from producing the hormones required to ovulate and menstruate. Your period naturally comes as a result of ovulation, when you are on birth control the period comes while taking the placebo pills due to a sudden decrease in your hormone levels. When a woman stops taking birth control the body can potentially take several months to regulate the normal production of those essential hormones needed to ovulate and menstruate.
