How long does it take for your period return to normal after getting off the pill?

I was on the pill for five years and am trying to get pregnant. I stopped in May and had my regular period in July and have not had another period since. I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience or has any serious answers. I am not pregnant. Thanks

Answers:
It generally takes about 3 months for a woman's period to return to normal after coming off the pill. It also isn't uncommon for the first few cycles to be really long. I would wait it out but if you don't see your period within 3 months you need to see your doctor to rule out hormone imbalance.

Generally they recommend 3 months. It may take longer. Once you get your cycle every 28-33 days again. You are back to normal.
