The average time it takes for a woman’s fertility to return to normal is about six months, and depends on the type of hormonal contraceptive used, age at first use and duration of use, as well as a woman’s individual biology. That said, FEMM recommends that you see a FEMM physician if your cycles do not normalize (are not ovulatory) within 3 months to make sure that you are on track to regain healthy cycles and fertility.
