Coming off desogestral

I'm sure this questions has been asked tons of times but I'm brand new here (first ever thread) and still finding my way around.
I've been off the pill (desogestral) for a month now and nothing, no AF, no symptoms or anything. Tests coming back negative. Is this normal??
I can't even test for ovulation as absolutely nothing is happening.
Please help

Hey 👋 i came off desogestrel 22nd feb this year to ttc i decided to track LH with the clear blue 4 day digital ovulation stick as i didnt know were i was in my cycle. To my shock i got 4 days of flashing smiley followed by my static straight away 8 days after stoppin pill, done the whole tww, test after test negative and a shockin amount of symptoms ... zero period. Fast forward a month n there was so so much cm i started doin cheapie lh tests and they were gradually gettin darker so done my clear blue and it literally went from blank circle to static smiley again. So basically i got a false lh surge at the start. Im now 9dpo in the tww again. So that pill for me has really played havock with me for sure! It may take a bit to rebalance all ur hormones. Even now im not 100 percent sure i ovulated. If i were u i would def start the ic tests now to start to gauge xxx

Ive just come off Cerazette which is pretty much the same pill and my ovulation was delayed by 4 days.

I am temping so can see that I have now ovulated. I did get lots of symptoms of ovulation around days 9-11 but my body tried and failed to ovulate.

It can take 6 months to re-regulate after the pill.

Thanks so much for your reply! That helps allot. Have you been able to conceive since you've been off it?

Hi! Sorry to jump on just thought I’d say I was on this exact pill, came off it mid December and I’m now 4 weeks pregnant and I started ovulating again around 2 weeks after coming off the pill so it can happen quick - ish! Best of luck to you x

Thanks for this information that really helps! How long was it before you had a period if you don't mind me asking??
