HOw long?

[Amberitto]

Hey
was just wondering how long it takes for the hormones from the pill to be out of my body completly after i stop using them. How long after my period.. around?

Here is a thread I asked about hormone testing and how long off the pill before read Brandye's response:

I know they die out quickly after you stop taking them; however, your reason for knowing can be for various reasons so if you need more info just post a question.

With the modern pills, the half-life of the hormone in your system is very short. Your period arriving indicates that they have dropped to a near nil level.

Sooo.. after my period.. maybe a couple of days later.. i should be back to my normal self? meaning normal sex drive i had before the pill?

Within a week, the hormones will not be hampering your desire. BUT .... you have now had a suppressed libido for a fairly long while. There have likely been psychological factors introduced and just relearning how to be sexy might take a while. There is more to the sex drive than hormones - like whom you are with aand whatever stuff is floating through your head including a bit of self-doubt. Your sexual self-confidence has been hurt and that takes recovery. Best cure is a real good screwing.

In the meantime, make certain you have a stock of altrnative methods of protection.
