First period after stopping pill?

Guys how do I know when I should be expecting my first period?! I stopped the pill about a month ago, then had a withdrawal bleed a week later.

Should I be expecting a period a month after the withdrawal bleed?? I need to know when to take a pregnancy test!

My period was pretty normal and regular before I was on the pill so not expecting a huge change but no idea what to expect!!

Mine was normal before the pill but I didn’t bleed until end of February and I stopped my pill in December x

@Frenchwindows apparently on average most women ovulate 2-4 weeks after stopping the pill, so if you have a normal luteal phase (it's commonly shorter the first cycle or two off the pill) then you would expect your first AF around 4-6 weeks after stopping, but as the other poster says, it's fairly common for it to go awol for a bit. I had my first AF (after withdrawal bleed) exactly 30 days after stopping the pill, but it turned out I had an extremely short luteal phase, my cycles have since been irregular, with the longest being 55 days with a normal luteal phase x

Didn’t get a period after stopping the pill just a Withdrawal bleed which was quite heavy to be fair this was days after stopping the pill

Then fell pregnant instantly and miscarried
