Different period symptoms after coming off of the pill?

in Babies on the Brain
I stopped the pill early March and have yet to get a period.  All week I have been tired, achy, moody, and my nipples are SO sore.  When I was on the pill my boobs would just hurt, but not as much the nipples. Just wondering if it is normal to get completely different period signs and symptoms once of the pill.  Thanks!

    Oh and I also took a pregnancy test not that long ago just to rule that out.

    Very normal. Your body has to get used to regulating hormones on its own again so it can take a while to find a new normal. Even then cycles and symptoms can change at anytime. If you reach 60 days without a period or positive HPT you can call your doctor to jump start your cycle.

    Very Normal. Mind you I wasn't on BC for very long, to start off with. Even still it takes a while for your body to get used to the changes. Funny how a small little pill can really do wonders eh?

    I experienced this about a month ago after I stopped taking the pill.  It's a pain.  It lasted a few weeks and then I just finally got my period.  I think my levels are finally leveling out now.  It's normal. :)

    I am hoping to get a period soon, if I don't get one by May 10th that would be 60 days. However, before going on the pill I did have longer cycles (about 40 days) when I know most women are about 28 days.  So maybe that is why it is taking awhile.

    Nope. 

    28 days is what people think is normal, but the "normal" range is a bit larger than that.

    Ok well I meant average was about 28-30... or at least I thought.  That is what my doctor told me a few years back.

    Not to be gross or TMI, but I smell different down there. I'm assuming that is also from getting off the pill?
