Late Period After Getting Off Bc Posted: 08-06-07 08:40am
I recently got off BC a month ago and I
should have started my period on Wed., but
it never came. I talked to a nurse at my
doctors office and they said that its very
normal for this to happen. I just watned
to see if this has happened anyone before
and how long it might take to get my
period.

It happened to me as well. Do you remember
how long your cycle was before you got on
birth control? Mine was 35-40 days and I
did actually get my period the day of my
pap smear lol, in the evening, about 38
days after I got off the pills.
My ob-gyn said I might skip that month and
it was totally normal. I didn't, but if I
had it would have been normal.

Mine was 28 days. I was on it for 4 years.
I just want to make sure that it is
normal. How long do you think it will be
before I get my period?

Your cycle was exactly 28 before
getting on the pill? That must have been
perfect for you then, since the pill's
cycle is 28 days too lol.
I honestly wouldn't worry. My ob-gyn said
it was normal. However, if you are
nervous, please take a test!! It's such a
relief to know.

should I go see my doctor to maybe get my
period induced? Because I want to get back
on the pill, but I can't do that until I
get my next period, right?

You don't need your period to start the
pills, not at all. You just have to not be
pregnant. The only way to know is to test,
but I don't think you are.
