Is it normal to go six or more weeks between periods a few months after quitting birth control?

Yes, going six or more weeks between periods (oligomenorrhea) in the first quelques mois after stopping birth control is considered normal and is part of the body's adjustment to the absence of hormonal contraception. After stopping birth control, your body's natural hormone production and cycle may take some time to return to normal. This can cause irregular periods, including long gaps between cycles, for several months. For most people, their menstrual cycle returns to a regular pattern within a year after quitting birth control. If you remain concerned or experience any other unusual symptoms, it's a good idea to consult your doctor or healthcare provider for further guidance and evaluation.
