How long have you been waiting? A few of the ladies on here got their BFPs or AFs within a few months as it can take a while for things to settle down- is it beause you've finished the pill?
I kept going to the docs as I had been waiting for Af for months and felt like he was fobbing me off- then I saw a female octor who was really sympathetic and sent me for tests etc so things are being looked into.
I would set yourself time limits eg if it'[s not here by the end of this month I'll make an appointment.
Some ladies have tried Agnus Castus a natural herb you can get from boots which is meant to help regulate your cycles it works for some but not others- and didn't for me.
Hope this helps xxx

mrsS (thats my name to!) - i saw your reply, thanks very much for the update.
hope09 - its only been just over a month! i'm very impatient, but i will have to wait to see a doc i spose.
i am buying some agnus castus as soon as i can get out of the house, so will see how that goes.
anyway know how likley it is that i will OV during this time - with no AF? just wondered if it was worth using my ov tests? x
I wasnt on the pill but ive been waiting for AF now 13 days now 49 day cycle-normally 35.
I went to the Dr and he was very kind, but couldnt really explain why AF was AWOL. He did do a preg test and he said i had no infections (but i never thought i did anyway). He said that seeing as i was sore it might be start of AF or a shy eptopic, so hopefully i'll break out in spots and i'll get AF.
Not really much help seeing as i was a bit sore so he was more concerned with that.
He was very kind, concerned about a pain i had, felt tummy, asked if i was taking folic acid. I gave him all the info id got from being on this site, like i knew about my cycle and asked quite good questions.
I think he must have been happy to get someone who didnt moan or try to tell him his job as id seen it on google!! I gave him all the info i could, he was concerned and kind, and told me where i stood and what would happen in the two eventualities of what he thought was happening to my body.
My af is definitely missing!
I'm on cd60 and have been really worried about what is happening with my body. Since coming off the pill my cycles have been 40 days and over but this is the longest one I've had.
We have only been trying since November 09 but I went to the docs today to ask for advice.
I have been taking agnus castus and evening primrose oil to help with my crazy hormones all the way through my cycle because I'm not certain if I am actually ovulating and even less certain of when that might be. Also doing temp charts and considering opks- not sure whether to buy saliva microscope or opks so any recommendations welcome!
The doctor was really lovely and reassuring. I fully expected him to fob me off and tell me to come back in a year but he didn't thank goodness!
He has booked me in for blood tests to find out whether I'm ovulating/to see whether there are any underlying probs and has asked for a sperm sample from my hubby too so I am feeling much better. He then said that depending on the results of our tests we would either be referred to the fertility clinic or I would be prescribed something to help regulate my cycles. He said to try not to worry too much about the missing af (easier said than done!) and if she hadn't arrived in the next couple of weeks, to come and see him again.
So, I would recommend you going to your doctors and asking for advice and tell them how worried you have been about your missing af (I really went on about this to make sure he would do something!)
I hope you get things sorted and that af arrives soon!
Here's to lots of babymaking fun and bfps for us all!
