How long does birth control take to work after having a IUD out?

Answer 1

Truly, the Birth Control pill doesn't regulate a period. It replaces your natural cycle with its own cycle of no bleeding and bleeding. Unless something else in your body changes, you are likely to return to your previous menstrual pattern once you go off the pill.

That said, you may have irregular, unscheduled bleeding in your first three months on the pill. After that, you should settle into a more predictable pattern. Some women think the pill will guarantee that their period always arrives on, say, every fourth Tuesday. That may happen, but it's not likely to be thatregular.

If after three months you're still experiencing breakthrough bleeding, or if it's troublesome in the first three months, contact your health care provider to discuss the possibility of changing to a pill with a different hormone profile.

Answer 2

If you're stopping the non-hormonal IUD, like Paragard, you'll get your period on your usual schedule. If you're stopping a hormonal IUD like Mirena or Skyla, you'll get your period in four to six weeks if your periods were regular before starting the IUD. If you had irregular periods before using the IUD, you'll probably return to your previous irregularity.

Answer 3

It can take up to 2 years which I know is hard but just always be ready.

Answer 4

The answer depends on the IUD type and the new birth control type. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Answer 5

It can take up to 12 months, especially if you are breastfeeding.
