Bleeding after stopping bcp?

[mbara]

Does everyone experience withdrawal bleeding after they stop birth control, how do you know if it's a real period or that? Just trying to figure out my cycle once I stop my bcp soon!

I had a withdrawl bleed, I finished my pack and had my bleed as normal but it was much shorter (about 4 days) and after that nothing. You will always have the withdrawal bleed after finishing a pack of pills as this is how it works, any time after that last bleed will be your "normal" period. Hope this helps.
