Yes, your menstrual cycles will be irregular at first.

Hormonal Birth Control works by suppressing your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate, you also no longer menstruate while on hormonal birth control - the bleeding you experience is a withdrawal bleed, for example on the combination pill you get a withdrawal bleed as a result of the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills.


Once you stop taking hormonal birth control your body has to reestablish it's normal hormonal balance and menstrual cycles - this can take up to twelve months, although you should see your period within three months. Remember that menstruation won't follow the same pattern of withdrawal bleeds, also remember that you may get pregnant when not on birth control.
