First period after coming off the pill

Hello, can anyone give me an idea of when I could expect my period after coming off the pill after nearly 10 years!
I had the usual withdrawal bleed, we starting trying start away for a baby but had a bfn this morning! So I'm guessing I should be due to come on at some Point?

I know every woman is different but any ideas or just simple advice would be great. I am scared it may not return for a while, we are desperate to start a family x

Hi there! I am 22, was on the pill for 7 years, and went off it in May this year. I had typical withdrawal bleeding, but have had a 52 and 81 day cycle :( I am currently on CD51 with no ovulation yet. I feel your pain- it is SO FRUSTRATING!

When I came off the pill after 3 years at age 20, I got pregnant two weeks later.  Of course, I had hoped that I would at least have one normal cycle after stopping the pill, but as can happen, we didn't use protection and poof, I was pregnant.  I was worried the whole pregnancy since I had only stopped the pill two weeks before, but thank God, everything turned out fine.

Hi,
I got my period in 5 days after coming off the pill and I have regular cycles ever since. Just like you I was on the pill for 10 years.
Although it was 6 years ago and I never got pregnant but some of my close friends got pregnant in 3 months after coming of the pill. They all are in their mid/late thirties and took the pill for 6-10 years.
Don't be desperate, it can happen soon!:)))
