I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone might know.
How long does it actually take for hormones to level out and stabilize after stopping birth control, just so I can get bloodwork done for a new prescription? Is it really three months, like they suggest when you're taking a break?

The last time I was intimate was back in early November, and I was on birth control at the time. My period was totally normal for the following two months, but now I've missed this first one. I did go through a pretty stressful stretch from late November through early January. I've also dealt with ovarian cysts a few times before, though they cleared up after I stopped taking those pills. I read somewhere that it's possible to have an issue during these first few months, so I figured I'd ask. Thanks!
