Will Discontinuation Of Birth Control Pills Have Any Effect On Regular Periods Cycle?

Posted on Wed, 18 Jul 2012
Question: My girlfriend got her period on XXXXXXX 6th. She has stopped taking her birthcontrol since then. Could that throw off her cycle, or should she still expect to have her period around july 4th or so.

Hello

Thanks for writing to us

Cycle may become irregular for a month or two after withdrawal from birth control pills

In some females they remain regular

If she has not conceived during this cycle then you can expect her periods on the due date or plus minus one week

Take care
