Start / The Kick Pregnancy Podcast / 60 i stopped the pill now where is my period

60. I stopped the pill, now where is my period?

20 min • 8 maj 2023

One of the most frequently asked question Dr Pat gets is “I’ve just stopped the pill, why don’t I have my period?” and while the answer can vary from person to person we thought that it would be a helpful podcast topic.

In today’s episode Dr Pat will be discussing everything from:

How long it should take to get your period back after stopping the pill

If there is anything you can do it induce your period after stopping the pill

Why you period may be absent for months after stopping the pill

Why your period may be irregular after stopping the pill.

This episode will even address whether the pill really causes infertility?

If you want your question answered, please leave your message on speakpipe to be chosen for Dr Pat to answer:
