Hi!welcome to Chat Doctor .com. It can take a while for a women body to adjust back to a normal menstrual cycle when she has stopped taking hormonal forms of birth control. While some women may return to a normal menstrual cycle right away, others can take as long as a year. If you donor get periods within 3 months get yourself checked.
