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.

For me it took a month, but for some it can vary.
It will return to normal in time. You just have to wait for your body to adjust.

It can take up to a year. The average time is around 3 months.
