No periods

So I stopped the combined pill just over 8 weeks ago ready to start ttc baby no 2.
I have been on the pill for about 3 & 1/2 years, so not had a period since before then.
I'm now 8 weeks off and no period. I feel like I have had lots of hormone changes, my moods are better, Iv had lots of cramping and breast tenderness a couple of times a week.
I have taken a pregnancy test every week just in case but all negative.
I did the typical late night google and getting mixed messages about when to expect a period and when to get medical advice.
What would you do. Any similar experiences to keep me positive?

I wouldn't think 8 weeks is anything to worry about, OP. It's frustrating but I think the advice is that if you haven't had a period by 5 or 6 months to go to your gp. Mine took about 6 months to come back after 15 years on the combined pill, and I got pregnant within a few months after that.
