After getting off birth control how long does it take for you to return to your normal period cycle?
I was on birth control for about 4 years and now recently stopped taking it I havent had a period at all this month. When could I expect for my body to return to its normal cycle

if u want to discontinue the pills there is a way. u just complete ur cycle it means if u r on pills u have to take 21 tabs and after this do not start new pack for next cycle. u see next cycle will be normal.
the hormones have a half-life of about 24 hrs so they are pretty much gone after 8 days but it may take 1-6 months for your body to resume it's normal cycle.
The time your period will start back is completely up to your body. There is not a set time for it to start back. However, most will start within two-three months after quitting the pill. This gives your body enough time to flush all of the pill's hormones out of your system.
