This will vary for each woman. Some will experience a long delay in return to their normal cycle, but most women who were regular pre-pill can expect normalcy to resume within about 3 months. Some women notice symptoms like headaches, mood swings, more blemishes and increased PMS (cramps, bloating, etc.) post-pill. Others who have had troubling symptoms on the pill will start feeling better soon after getting off of the pill. On the plus side, many women have reported feeling increased libido, feeling more "clear-headed" and even some weight loss after going off of the pill. Essentially, womens bodies, hormones, etc. are different therefore people can have very different experiences - just like the variety of experiences of being on the pill. Give it some time to get back to your normal cycle and if you do not return to your normal cycle after about 3 months (assuming you were regular before the pill), it may be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor.

How soon can you test for PCOS after going off the pill?

Wait a few months after going off the pill to see if your periods are still regular. If you don't have a period for 2-3 months and aren't pregnant, see your OB or reproductive endocrinologist to be tested for PCOS. Often times the pill can mask the symptoms of PCOS and you won't know you have it until after you go off the pill.


If I just got off the pill and got my first period but now my second period is late and I have symptoms like sore breasts and mood swings and I haven't had sex what is going on?

A few things could be going on. If you were sexualy active just after going off the pill, then you could be pregnant and the first period was not a period. If you had contact of any sort or you were taken advantage of after the period, you could be pregnant. The symptoms listed could be the result of going off the pill. Do an EPT and/or see your doctor about a blood screen.

How long does it take to come off your period after coming off the pill?

The length of the first period after the pill is unpredictable. While you're on the pill, the hormones decrease the amount of menstrual flow. You can expect longer and heavier periods, returning to your previous pattern, after you stop the pill.

Yes. Even on birth control you can still get pregnant. Just a week after going off the pill its not likely, becasue you'll still have the hormones in your system but definatly still possible.


You just got off the pill and Got your first period but now your second is late I have all the symptoms sore breasts mood swings oh yeah and you haven't had sex what is going on?

For the first few months after getting off of the pill, your body will be readjusting; your periods may not be regular for quite a few months. It sounds like you are in a pre-menstrual phase, but if you are seriously concerned, do get tested.


Will going off the pill cause acne?

AnswerI'm not sure if going off the contraceptive pill will 'cause' acne, but I do believe that your differing hormones levels increase the possibilities of acne occurring. Twice I have gone off the pill, and twice I have had acne.. However, I also believe that every woman is different, hormone levels are different at different times of the month, and therefore there are different levels of hormones in each type of pill. So there is no set answer to this question.
