Stopping the pill

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice.. I stopped the pill after 9 years of taking it. I still haven't started my period and its been a little over a month. (we started using condoms instead) Does stopping the pill really affect your cycle or should I start getting worried now? Thanks!

Yes getting off the pill can definitely affect your cycles majorly. You won't know when to expect your AF for a few months probly. I wouldn't worry too much. If you don't get it within a week or two here or are seriously panicing, go ahead and buy a pregnancy test and test. Just give it some time, you will probly see AF soon!
