yes it can . it may take a couple months to get regular cycles again. If no period after 8 weeks, see a doctor
Yes. A delayed return of menses can occur after stopping birth control pills. That should not last any longer than 8 weeks typically. You should seek an evaluation if you have not had a period within 8 weeks of coming off pills.
