  • Please read the following if you do not understand how birth control pills work, or if you don't understand why you had a "regular" 28 day cycle while on birth control, and now have an "irregular" cycle (taken from https://goaskalice.columbia.edu/answered-questions/how-do-birth-control-pills-work):

    Birth control pills prevent pregnancy through several mechanisms, mainly by stopping ovulation. If no egg is released, there is nothing to be fertilized by sperm, and the woman cannot get pregnant. Most birth control pills contain synthetic forms of two female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle. Without the estrogen bump, the pituitary gland does not release other hormones that normally cause the ovaries to release mature eggs.

    Specifically, synthetic estrogen in the pill works to:

    • Stop the pituitary gland from producing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in order to prevent ovulation.
    • Support the uterine lining (endometrium) to prevent breakthrough bleeding mid-cycle.

    Meanwhile, synthetic progestin works to:

    • Stop the pituitary gland from producing LH in order to prevent egg release.
    • Make the uterine lining inhospitable to a fertilized egg.
    • Partially limit the sperm's ability to fertilize the egg.
    • Thicken the cervical mucus to hinder sperm movement (although this effect may not be key to preventing pregnancy).

    Birth control pills traditionally come in packs of 21 or 28 pills. Both types of packs contain 21 active pills. The seven extra pills in the 28-pill pack are placebo pills which are there to remind you to continue taking one pill everyday and to remind you when to begin the next pack. Whether you take placebo pills or simply wait 7 days to start the next pack, the 7-day break from hormones triggers monthly bleeding that mimics a woman's menstrual period. 


    In summary:

    -If you are on birth control, you are probably not ovulating.  

    -If you are on birth control, you get a "period" every 28 days because your body is withdrawing from synthetic hormones, not because you ovulated on day 14 every month.

    -You therefore do not have a "regular, 28 day cycle" on birth control.  You have a synthetically induced 28 day cycle.  Your cycle may be longer, shorter, or the same when you come off of birth control, because your body's hormones are no longer being suppressed by the hormones in the pill, and therefore your body is making its own hormones on its own schedule.
