How long is 'normal'?

Well, I know this has been asked before, but the link isn't working yet so I have decided I really need some advice on this one.

I am on my first cycle after coming off of the pill and am currently on day 70, having had no period so far except for the standard withdrawral bleed a couple of days after I stopped taking it. I'm almost certain I have not even ovulated yet (have been checking CM), and I know I am not pregnant as I've done a crazy number of HPT since day 28 LOL. When I stopped taking the pill last time (Before I concieved no. 1) My periods returned to normal straight away, so I really just assumed this would be the case this time around. What I'm wondering is how long I should be waiting for a period before I should visit my GP? I'm really beginning to worry that something is wrong. I'd love to know how long others took to get a first period after coming off the pill?

My GP was worried when I got to 6 weeks, surprised when I got to 8 weeks and simply astounded when I got to 11!

You've gone 10 weeks without AF, definitely worth starting the ball rolling and getting things looked at. You may find a GP isn't too bothered and will tell you to just wait, but ask for a referral to a gynecologist anyway. Specialists are usually much more willing to look into the reasons behind it.

I second what Butterfly says. Get yourself a gyno referral, just to make sure all is ok. They may be able to give you something to bring AF on (so Ive heard),,. Good Luck!

Having just taken NHS advice for this, I can tell you that if you've just come off the Pill no-one is really worried: it can take 4 months before you have another period. If you have very, very long cycles quite a while later, or they become regular and then start to get irregular, then you may be sent for a blood test, but if that's normal then there's nothing they can do. Unless I was just worried about cycle length, then they'd put me back on the Pill, but if I didn't want that then nothing.

My homeopath put me on Agnus Castii to help get my cycles back to normal, I started that on Wednesday and hope it kicks in soon! I really hope you can get something to help you, Marcia!

!'m at cd56 and counting, my post-Pill cycles were 32, 43, 44, 38, 42, 45 and 55 days.

Thanks for your input girls. I really appreciate it. I think I will wait it out another week or two and if I'm still counting I will go see my Dr. I'm just so surprised as I didn't have any probs like this when TTC my first, so I guess I expected to be on my third try at catching the egg by now, not just waiting for there to be one LOL!
