How long will your period continue for after you stop taking the pill?

Answer 1

It depends on the type.

The Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill lasts between 1 and 4 days.

The Progestogen-Only Pill or Progestin-Only Pilllasts a day.

Ormeloxifene or Centchroman last a month but is less widely used.

Answer 2

you should have a normal peroid.

When you stop taking the pill your body has to adjust without it so there will be spotting and such for the first little bit and then you will finally resume to a normal period such as once a month. Your period does not stop after you discontinue the pill. Your period only stops when you reach your menopausal stage or you have a hysterectomy or of course if you have a condition/disease that may affect it.

Answer 3

In terms of word choice, "breakthrough bleeding" is bleeding when you expect the hormones in Birth Control to stop bleeding. On the other hand, "withdrawal bleeding" is what you have when you stop taking active pills -- whether temporarily, as during the pill-free interval, or when you quit the pill altogether. It's normal to have a withdrawal bleed after stopping the pill. You can expect a normal period in four to six weeks.

Answer 4

Withdrawal bleed will usually occur within 4-28 days after stopping birth control. If you don't experience a withdrawal bleed in 2 months then see your doctor.

Answer 5

It lasts anywhere from 3 to 7 days. My first withdrawal bleeding last a normal cycle 5 days.

Answer 6

Yes this is normal after you have stopped taking birth control. It is because the medication is withdrawing from your system. This also means that you are at risk of pregnancy.

Answer 7

It depends how far into the pregnancy you were, heavy bleeding that lasts more than a few days should be evaluated by your MD.
