How long does it take for your period to adjust?

It can take several months for a woman's menstrual cycle to return to normal after using hormonal birth control. On average, period irregularity typically lasts for around three months after stopping birth control. In some women, it may return to normal within a month, while in others, it could take up to a year. During this time, women may experience changes in the length and regularity of their periods, as well as their flow. It is also common to have spotting or irregular bleeding in between periods. Additionally, some women may find that their period symptoms, such as cramps, bloating, and mood changes, may differ than they did prior to using hormonal birth control.
