Birth Control Period Question - about getting off of Birth Control?

I ended my Birth Control Pill (BC) intake at the end of the BC cycle. I was put on the lowest hormone dosage, which had three weeks of no period and one week of period pills (but it only made my period last for about 5 days give or take a day). It has been a month now since I have been off BC, & I have not started my period yet. I have not had intercourse with my significant other either, so I know I am not pregnant.

My normal period before starting on BC was every four weeks off and one week is my period week. My period before BC lasted between 6 to 7 days.

Again, it has been my usual 4 weeks and no period yet. When should I be expecting my period? Will it be unusually heavy then my usual period & will it be more painful when it comes back from getting off (or from having tried) BC?

oh yeah almost forgot to add:

I was only on the BC for 3 months until I got off of it. It was my first time taking BC.

You might be irregular for as long as six months as your body adjusts to being off the pill and new, natural hormonal levels. This does not mean, however, that you can't get pregnant! If after six months you are not back to a semi-regular schedule you can discuss with your doctor but as long as you are having periods at 4-6 wk intervals, (s)he probably won't be concerned. Your response will be individual and could be lighter or heavier periods, or more or less symptoms than you had on the pill. http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-c... might answer a few of your questions.
