Best Answer

When you stop taking the Birth Control, your period may change in a few ways. First, it will probably get a bit heavier and crampier again, reverting to the pattern it had before you started the pill. (Since the pill makes most women's periods lighter and less crampy, stopping it removes this benefit.) Second, your period may not have the same timing it had when you were on the pill. When you stop, your next period will come in 4-6 weeks.
