A member asked:
I stopped taking the pill after 5 years; how long is normal to wait for your first natural period? and when is it a time to take a test if still late?

Varies: Some texts will report that it can take up to a year to have a regular cycle. But, you should have a period (in any capacity) within a few months. If you have absolutely no bleeding/period for more than 2 months after stopping, i would recommend you see your physician. It still may be normal, but i would recommend checking at that point.
