The hormones in the birth control pills stop normal ovulation.By coming off the pill , your body returns to its natural cycle.
Most women return to their normal hormone production after coming off the pill. In fact, it’s possible to become pregnant just a few days after you stop taking oral contraceptives.
But , it could also take a few months for your body to begin ovulating and menstruating on its own schedule again. Some women will experience a delay before their normal menstrual cycles returns, especially those who had irregular periods before taking oral contraceptives.
Anonymous, what were your menstrual cycles and periods like before you started taking birth control pills?
