How long does it take to get your period after birth control?

Most women get a period within 3 weeks of stopping OCP. If it has been 6 weeks with no period you should use a HPT, it is always possible you ovulated prior to getting that first period. If this happened by 6 weeks you would have a positive pregnancy test.

If the HPT is negative with no period by 8 weeks you should see your GYN/OB. Some women develop a syndrome caused by the Pill and will need to use an ovulation enhancer to get your hormones up and running, their bodies just become used to having ovulation suppressed and for some reason going off the pill is not enough to kick start their cycle.

If your period started on Thursday you start taking the pill on Sunday how long does it take before your protected against getting pregnant. also what day are you likely to get your withdrawal bleed?

The withdrawal bleeding will depend on how your body reacts to the BCP. Some women have no bleeding, others spot continually for their first couple months of taking The Pill, others will have a few days of bleeding when they start taking the inactive pills in their packet.

How long until hormones from birth control leave your system?

No long, though. I had a friend get pregnant who was on the pill and had been taking antibiotics for 10 days. the antibiotics cancelled out the birth control and she got pregnant. Ask your doctor for the correct answer, call and and ask the person who answers the phone, they many know.

Missed a few pills period started early what now?

Get back on the pill and use a back up method until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days. If you were more than half way through the packet you were taking skip the inactive pills in the packet and go straight to the active pills in your next packet. If you were still in the first week just start taking the pills as if you had not missed any, but you will still need to use back up BC until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days.
