Period timing after stopping the pill?

Hi everyone. I am wondering how my period will be affected when I stop taking the pill. Will it still come at the same time it does now, or will it be completely different? Does anyone have any idea?

Hi Amy,

Uhhh… I thought you were switching to Yasmin? After you stop hormonal birth control your period will probably be different than when you were on it. Your period might go back to the way it was prior to your beginning hormones, or if your body has changed in that interval, it may be different. Heavier and longer then when you were on hormones is usually the case, but not always.

Take care,

Hi Jill,

Yeah I guess that was kind of confusing, sorry. :) I am switching to Yasmin, but I was just wondering how my period would be if I decided to stop taking the pill in the future. Thanks for you help, and I'll definately let you know how I like Yasmin. :)
