How long after coming off the combined pill before you had a period?

Just wondering? I took my last pill when the packet ended ready for a withdrawal bleed and today is day 26 after that. I usually have short cycles of between 23 and 26 days and the NHS website says most people will have a period within 4 weeks so I'm starting to get anxious about the unlikely possibility of pregnancy (despite having used alternative contraception).

@MeadowHay Hi OP. My first cycle off the pill was 58 days! Currently on CD27 and no sign yet - definitely not pregnant! There is a thread on the conception forum all about this if you want to get an overview of lots of womens experiences!

35 days for me. Give your body time to adjust.

Hi, thanks for your responses luckily it came last Thursday. I was freaking out because I actually did come off it in prep to TTC but for significant financial reasons we need to wait slightly longer so it would have been terrible timing if I had been pregnant then!! But thank God I'm not. I've never been so relieved and happy to see my period come!!
