[|Human|] I have a question about birth control.  I would like to know how long it takes for birth control to leave the system and start ovulating again.  I get comments made to me that it takes at least a year for it to get out of the system and possibly get pregnant.  These people telling me this seem very adamant that it is a year for every female.  Now that I am in my early 40s I get these comments a lot.
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It can take 2 to 4 menstrual cycles before everything returns to normal. It does not take a yr for this to occur. In some women it may even take less than the 2 cycles stated earlier. Because you are in your early 40s, it may be more difficult to conceive. If you are unable to conceive after 6 months, you should consider visiting your doctor for an evaluation. I hope this helps
