How long does it take to get your period after birth control?

Most women get a period within 3 weeks of stopping OCP. If it has been 6 weeks with no period you should use a HPT, it is always possible you ovulated prior to getting that first period. If this happened by 6 weeks you would have a positive pregnancy test.

If the HPT is negative with no period by 8 weeks you should see your GYN/OB. Some women develop a syndrome caused by the Pill and will need to use an ovulation enhancer to get your hormones up and running, their bodies just become used to having ovulation suppressed and for some reason going off the pill is not enough to kick start their cycle.
