TTC - coming off the pill

Hi all, I'm after some advice please. I came off the pill in April to start TTC. I had my normal 'pill break period' and then for 2 months I had a period exactly 5 weeks and 4 days apart both times. I now haven't had a period for 8 weeks. How long did it take for you to become regular? I have no idea if/when I'm ovulating and I'm getting so fed up, I know it's really not been long and I probably need to be more patient! I just want it so badly that it's consuming my brain! Just want a regular cycle so I know what's going on with my body again!

Thanks all x

@Kirstyls I had to check this wasn't something I had posted as I'm going through exactly the same thing! I came off the pill in April to TTC too, had two or three nice regular periods around about 29 days or so. Now at 9 weeks with no AF. Pregnancy testing all been negative. Intended to start ovulation testing on the next cycle but the next cycle has never come. Of course my mum got pregnant with me immediately after stopping the pill so I hoped it would be easier! It's so incredibly frustrating not being pregnant but also not cycling so not able to really plan or test or do anything about it. Please update if you do get AF or bfp, and although I'm sorry you're going through it I hope it's a comfort to know you're not alone.
