Usually AF will start within a few days to two weeks after finishing the pills.
Very rarely will it start before then.
It is not the progesterone itself that brings on a bleed, but rather the progesterone withdraw that does. It mimics what naturally happens in your cycle basically, because after Ov your body makes progesterone, and then if you are not pregnant it stops making progesterone... which in turns causes AF.
Hope that helps.
(Also, have some medicine on hand for the cramps. Going that long without AF will mean a very built up lining, which will mean a really heavy crampy AF most likely.
Which, just so you know for future reference, you should not let happen again. Missing AF for more than two months increases your risk of cancer in the uterus from it not shedding the lining. Not something to mess with. I went a year without AF once, and my doctor never even warned me of this. When I found a doctor who knew what they were doing, she flipped out that I had went so long with AF. She was VERY concerned. If you do not get AF every few months, you need to ask your doctor for something to bring it on.)
