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.
maybe so
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.
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.
Going off the Pill shouldn't affect your menstrual cycle.
i am being weaned off of Premarin after taking it for 12 years for menopausal symptoms. What can i expect.
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.
you can get really nauseas. it happend to me
Your symptoms of being on the pill will gradually decrease and you may experience irregular menstrual cycle while your body adjusts to being off 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.
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.
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.
yes you can, it happened to me several times,the obgyn. called it break through bleeding.
