Most women will have a period around 2 to 4 weeks after stopping the pill, but this depends on you and what your cycle is normally like. ... This is because the pill contains the hormones that stop the release of an egg (ovulation) each month. The first period after stopping the pill is known as a "withdrawal bleed".
