Yes it is possible to experience an irregular menstral cycle when you discontinue taking Birth Control. This is because when you take birth control it actually regulates your period. By stopping birth control you may experience breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is when you menstruate at times when you normally would not begin your menstral cycle. Breakthrough bleeding can possibly last for up to a full period or longer. Stopping birth control may also stop your period for a month or longer or you may not receive your period around the normal time of which you used to when you were taking your birth control.
It depends sometimes you're period gets normal after birth control but sometimes it may still keep being irregular. It depends on the person and or pills
