  I didn't chart my first 3 cycles off, but they were normal length, so I assume I ovulated.  I started charting and was ovulating and having normal length LPs.  I got pg 11 months after stopping the pill.
  
  This time I had an IUD, and again my cycles regulated right away.

  My first cycle off BC was 38 days. I then settled into cycles that were about 35 days long.

  Never.  Seriously.  It took 6 months after going off BCP to even have a period.  I have only had 4 periods in 14 months.

  I regulated immediately after stopping pills.

  That said, that doesn't appear to be the norm.

  My cycles were pretty normal right away. The first few were a little over 30 days long and then settled into regular 28 day cycles.

  I'm going to go with not yet...I had no AF for 3 months, jump started on Provera, then pregnant right away, but I ovulated really late based on my estimated conception date. I'm on my second PP cycle now, so it's only my 3rd AF in 2.5 years. Still waiting on "normal".

  After over 2 months off the pill, I still haven't had a period so my doctor just gave me some provera to kick me out of this cycle-my cycles have always been crazy long though so it could just be me.

  About the same for me.  I think irregular can be the normal.  I can identify a few trends in my cycles, but O still happens on a different day each month.

  I had consistent 28 days cycles right away. But I wasn't temping so I don't know about ovulation. It stayed at 28 days for about a year...now it's getting less predictable.

  Came off BCP on November 6, had a 69 day cycle and when I went to the doctor on day 70 and she had me pee in a cup for a test, I peed blood. Currently on my second cycle, CD13. No clue how long it will last.

  I stopped BCP in October and got a period 2 months later. I had a 31 day cycle after that. No idea if I actually ovulated because I haven't been temping consistently.

  My cycles seemed to be within normal range right away, between 25-29 days.  I have only temp charted two of those cycles, and I ovulated on both so luckily things regulated quickly for me after 10+ years on BCP.

  Everyone is different.. so don't let my answer worry you.
  
  I got off the pill almost a year ago, and my cycle (or lack there of) is not back to normal. I don't get AF without medication, and I haven't Oed once in the last 11 months.
  
  I really hope things get on track for you soon.

  I went off BC in March 2013 and I'm still waiting for my cycles to regulate. They used to be 28-30 days pre BC, now they range 40-45 days.

  The first time I went off BCP in my early 20's, I was regular immediately.
  
  The second time I was 26, and I had a 36 day cycle, then regulated after.
  
  I can only assume the next time will be an even longer first cycle followed by regulation, if the trend holds true.
