Answer

Hello,

When you stop taking birth control pills you will experience a withdrawal bleeding which may consist of any of the following:

Spotting of blood in underwear.

Brown vaginal discharge.

Brown (old) blood when you wipe or in underwear.

Normal period bleeding.

Light vaginal bleeding.

Red or pinkish coloured blood in underwear when you wipe.

After you experience any of the above, your period may arrive within a few days to 6 weeks after the withdrawal bleeding. Sometimes it may arrive 8 weeks after withdrawal bleeding. It's different in every woman.
