How long for periods to return after stopping the pill

Hi,
I stopped taking my contraceptive pill just over 2 weeks ago. I have taken it back to back for around two years with the odd break.

It's been more than two weeks and I haven't had a bleed/period, is this normal, I expected it with a week or so.

Just wondering how long I wait to check in with my GP.

According to the NHS website it takes on average 2-4 weeks for your period to return after stopping the pill but it can take up to 3 months for your cycle to re-establish itself.
