Stopping desogestrel

I've been toying with the idea of stopping taking Desogestrel I'm almost 44 and feel like I'm at the age now where I want to stop pumping my body with artificial hormones.

Unbeknownst to me I actually took my last pill on Thursday evening I went to take one last night and I have none left. Obviously it's the weekend so I can't ring my GP to get a prescription so here I am.

This pill has stopped my periods (yay) I haven't had one in over a year. What should I expect now I've stopped it. How long before I'll get a period?

Since stopping it I have had period pains and backache everyday. Everyday I'm convinced I'm going to start but I've had nothing yet.

Has anyone else experienced this?
