Good morning ladies,

Ok, so I've made up my mind to stop taking bcp, after 2 years. How long do you think it will take my body to get back to normal again? And what can I expect in the next few days or so? Will I get spotting or my period? Yesterday was my first day, I didn't take my pill. So far I'm not feeling much of anything. I do kind of have or get that feeling you get sometimes when you are about to get your period so I'm wearing a pad just in case. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Have a great day! T-

I agree with Jill ... everyone is different. As for me, I stopped taking BCPs in March after almost 7 years on them ... got my period like magic 28 days later and I was NEVER regular before the Pill (granted I was only 17 then, but ...). I was shocked!!! It's been coming regularly ever since. But I have a friend who stopped BCPs last July and didn't get a period until January of this year ... so I guess those are the two extremes and you could go either way, or somewhere in the middle!
