I have a question...

When coming off BCP after a short time taking them. Do you Ovulate first, or have a period first? And about how long after you take your last pill do you do either?

If you go off the pill at the end of your current pack, you should have your last pill period at the time you normally do. How long ovulation takes to come back, and thus periods to become regular again, varies with the woman, and may take as long as several months. Or, it may happen that month. No way to say for sure.
