Confused.. need opinions

I just stopped taking the pill about a month ago. I was on it for about 6 years. I am recently married and really not quite ready for a baby just yet. I am only 26 and we recently purchased a home and are not quite financially set for the expense. The only reason I stopped taking the pill was because I didn't like the way i felt on it. I tried different types and then decided we are married now so i just stopped.

I was due to get my period about 5 days ago and did not get it yet. Is this normal? I feel a little bloated and last night I had cramps like I was about to get my period but didn't. I am really confused and scared to take a pregnancy test. How long did it take anybody to get their period after stopping taking the pill before they knew they were preg. ? TIA

when i went off the pill, it took me several months to get AF back. i would just take a test to give yourself piece of mind. that's what i did and i was glad bc then i didnt stress for all those months over it (we werent quite ready either).

I had two relatively normal cycles, maybe 35 days long, after stopping the pill and then nothing for 8 months, then I got PG!! After Andrew, my cycles are clockwork, every 28 days!
