About Drea Jean H. Expertise I offer an unbiased view on all birth control methods, and the pros and cons of each. I have personally tried many forms, and am always willing to do research on the topic to become more informed, as I have 3 growing daughters to educate.
Experience I have tried many diffrent pill forms over the last 10 years, practiced the rethom method, and also utilised many over the counter products.
I got off the pill last month. I had been on it for about a year and a half. I was supposed to get my period last Wednesday and now it is almost one week late. Before I was on the pill and during the time that I was on the pill, my periods were all very regular. Is it normal for my body to take some time adjusting after getting off the pill? I am just concerned cause I have almost never been this late before. Thanks for your help.
Answer Hi Jessica,
Yes, it is perfectly normal to miss periods for a little while, or have very short ones, or just spotting within your first few month off the pill. It can take up to 6 months for your body to regulate itself. It is very normal, although often irritating, but it is common, so don't worry.
