So frustrated!
Ugh, I was always so regular on the pill with 28 day cycles and now after going off I'm on CD32 and no signs of AF coming. DH and I were going to be careful the first few months of coming off, but 8 days ago I said forget about it and we're just going for it.
The problem now is that I'm just waiting for AF to come thinking that I couldn't have possibly ovulated that late. Took a HPT test on Thanksgiving and it was BFN. Just stinks not knowing when I'm ovulating, not knowing when my cycles will end, and always thinking I'm pregnant. This month has been soooo long!
ETA: How long did it take you to get AF after going off BCP?

Re: So frustrated!
I never got AF after going off the pill - but I also knew I was not pregnant because I knew I wasn't ovulating. I started charting immediately after coming off the pill.
Eventually I started seeing an RE because I have PCOS.

Re: So frustrated!
Fortunately AF came for me right as schedule as soon as I got off the pill. Have you started temping? By temping you'll know for sure when you have ovulated. GL

Re: So frustrated!
I am in the exact same boat as you!!! Stopped the pill, was going to wait but figured we'd go for it this month I am on cd40 and no sign of AF 
I'm now thinking this is an anovulatory cycle and have no idea when AF will come... I am going to call my dr this week...
All I can recommend is buying some dollar store tests (accurate but wont cost you a bundle) and test every few days...

Re: So frustrated!
You definitely can't go by what your cycles were on the pill since the pill forces your period every 28 days. I never got my period after stopping the pill and was prescribed provera after 62 days. I'm in my second cycle off the pill now and finally got a positive OPK on CD31.
I stopped the pill in August and this is the first time I've ovulated. For some women, it takes a few months or more to get back to normal.

Re: So frustrated!
I am so sorry! I know how frustrating it is!
my first cycle off the pill was 44 days....my cycles haven't gone back to normal bc i just found out I have PCOS, but it is completely normal to have a few irregular cycles after BCP and then it may go back to normal.
just hang in there!
