Varies: Menses can resume immediately or there is a condition known as post-pill amenorrhea in which it can take up to 1 year and still be normal. One of the main predictors is how regular your periods were before you started the pill. If they were regular then they usually become regular again sooner than if they were irregular before. Good luck.

Polycystic ovaries: In general, a woman should have a menstrual period about a month after the last menstrual period she had while taking birth control pills. However, your record indicates that you have polycystic ovarian disease, which is often associated with irregular, infrequent menstrual periods; therefore when you will have your next period cannot be predicted. Check a preg test if you could be pregnant.
