Hey Avie - I wouldn't panic - it can take a few months for your body to get back to normal. The last time I went off the pill it took about 6 weeks to have a period. Do a search on here, you will find plenty of posts about this. Good luck!

I also just went off the pill like a month to two months ago.... and have been ttc ever since i had my last af which was about 1 1/2months ago. I took two tests since then and nothing. You think the borth control pills could still be working some how. Or you think it just takes time. Or maybe i can't have babies? How do i know??/

Avie,
I don't think you have anything to worry about. I went off ortho evra and had to wait for my next period to start before I went back to orthotricyclen. I freaked out when I didn't get my period when I was supposed to. My doctor said it can take sometimes as long a 6 months for your body to regulate itself. It took me only a month. Eventually, things will be back to normal.
