Yes it can (the type that alters hormone activity, not barrier methods). Birth control pills, injections/patches, etc, work by suppressing ovulation or/and changing the environment of the uterus and this can alter regular hormonal activity for some time after discontinuing use. Eventually (within a few weeks—or possibly months, but that is rare) normal cycling should return. A safer and more effective form of birth control is Natural Family Planning, also known as Fertility Awareness Method. You can find out more information at www.fertilityfriend.com.
