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 lovely Grace,
You are so welcome! We are so happy you have found Nourished Natural Health and we hope we can help you with your symptoms
Hello lovely Emily,
So happy to hear you found this so helpful :) Post -pill PCOS can be such an awful thing to go through. Yes it can be soooo frustrating being so sensitive to the synthetic hormones and having intense anxiety – at least you know where it’s coming from :)
If you get to the bottom of your hormonal issues, you will be able to support your hair through this process and not experience a complete loss of it :)
We wish you the best and hope our recommendations help you and yes education about all these things is crucial – we couldn’t agree more
Hey lovely Sophie,
So sorry to hear you are experiencing these issues since coming off the pill. Remember it can take quite some time for your hormones to balance out once again so be patient with the process and I’m sure it will get back to a regular cycle very soon. Follow all the tips we have given above and this will give your body the best chance :)
Good luck lovely x
I recently had two months skipped periods while on the pill. I blamed stress because life. Life settled and I finally had a period again, although it was spotty. I was also mildly lactating (no babies/children, but I do work with them). Do you think it stress related as well?
Loved this! Thank you 😊
