I don't know much about this kinda thing, sorry... but if you are getting stressed about it, why not make an appointment with the Dr? It'll settle your mind at the very least, and if there's any reason to worry, at least you'll be doing the right thing in checking.

i wouldnt be. It can take a while for everything to get back to normal again, especially after such a long time on the pill. It also can take 2 or 3 weeks after your period is due for a positive test result, it depends on your HCG level. It took 5 weeks for a positive test to come up for me.
What ever happens i wouldnt be worried about a thing at this stage. Some people get pregnant on their first try and some people it can take a year with no fertility problems. Just relax and enjoy the process

what Aliana's mum said ! and most of what i read on the net says it can take 3-6 months, and sometimes more for your body to get back in sync....
Good luck with your TTC journey !

I was on the pill for 10 years - prior to going on the pill my cycles were always 28-30 days, after coming off the pill, I got up to 50 days! Having said that, I still managed to get pregnant within 2 cycles of TTC. So I guess I can't tell you how long it may take to become regular again, but at least I can say it isn't necessary in order to get pg (just easier to tell where you are in your cycle!)
Maybe talk to your doctor if you are really worried, but sometimes not worrying about it actually makes things get back to 'normal' more quickly.

I came off the pill with #2 and got pregnant that first month. But with Rhylz it took 3 months of trying (off the pill 5 months) to get pregnant.
Everyone is different, try not to stress about it - it will happen when your body is ready.

My doc said some women can take up to a year in rare cases to become regular. I was on the pill for 15 years without a break. I stopped on the 17th Mar and got my first BFP three weeks later. Had a m/c then had another BFP 4 weeks after that.
No way to say how long it may take i'm sorry to say but that doesn't mean you can't TTC. My doc said the best way to increase the chances was to BD every two days a least.
