Not every person who stops taking them will bleed non-stop. I just got off birth control and after my last pill-period finished, I haven't bled since. It's not time for my first real period yet; it hasn't been a month yet. I also was on birth control as a teen, and again, I did not bleed non-stop after stopping them.

Birth control pills control your cycle and prevent pregnancy by making your body think it is already pregnant. When you are pregnant, you do not ovulate (release eggs). So, the pills prevent ovulation. The hormone level in your body also prevents you from bleeding. When you get to the placebo week, your body stops receiving hormones. This causes the withdraw bleeding.

Well I just stopped taking my birth control and have started bleeding and have been for the past couple days. I was just wandering was that normal or could there be something wrong.

If you just stopped taking the pills and it was the end of the month on the pills, then you're just experiencing withdraw bleeding, which is what is supposed to happen every single month that you are on the pills. This bleeding probably won't last longer than a normal period on your pills does, and then it'll go away. The next period you get, a month from now, will probably be a "real" period, meaning you ovulated, etc.

I just stopped taking birth control last month after my last cycle, and have no been late for this new cycle for the last 4 days. Is it normal to be late on the first cycle after birth control?
