Stopping taking the microgynon pill

Hey, stopped taking the pill nearly five weeks ago had my withdrawal bleed straight after... But was just wondering when other people's normal period came again? I have stopped taking this pill before and everything just went back to normal straight away? X

Hey

I stopped my mycrogynon last month and had the normal withdrawal bleed 3 days later. My real period came on cycle day 31 (starting counting from 1st day of withdrawal bleed). A few days later than i expected. But it only lasted 3 days, v light, then nothing on day 4, a bit of brown on day 5. Apparently its v common for AF to be light post-pill compared to pre-pill and when on it. I was on mycrogynon for 10 years.

Just realised I spelt microgynon wrong throughout!!

I had 3 very long cycles after coming off microgynon 40+ days) then a very short cycle and then they settled down. Everyone is different, some people are back onto a normal cycle almost immediately but some people take months and months

Mine took approximately 4 cycles maybe 5, can't exactly remember which months i stopped. Either June or July.
I was pregnant by Christmas!
