Timing will vary from person to person for the amount of time it will take for their period to come back post-pill.
Your body is undergoing some huge changes and detoxing out hormones as well as foods etc. Be patient and you should notice a change very soon.
If you had normal periods before going on the pill, it should usually only take around 3 months to naturally get your period back.
If you had issues with your cycle before going on the pill, it is important to note these may return as your body attempts to bring back a natural cycle.
Remember, whilst being on the pill, the pill may have masked many of your symptoms and these can return when you decide to come off the pill.

Hello! I know this article is about the pill but I’ve been planning on getting my nexplanon taken out since it’s just been causing some issues so I was wondering if this guide also works for that.
Thank you xoxo
Hello! Thanks so much for this article. I’m planning to come off the pill after 10+ years on it and will be using these guiding principles over the next few months as I plan to come off in the next 2-3 months. I was wondering how long after you come off the pill should you continue to do all these steps and take these supplements? Thank you!
Hi,
Since coming on the pill about a year ago, I have developed severe anxiety which I didn’t have before. I am coming off the pill officially because of this – I want my old self back. Although I might feel worse coming back to my natural cycle, will that go eventually? I am worried it will have the reverse affect and this anxiety will get worse.
Thanks x
Thanks for this article. I was wondering if the vagibal ring, which also secretes hormones is still disruptive to your gut flora and has the same impact that the pill does?
