Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
SInce you used the Femilon for 2 years, it would take some time for your body to adjust to hormonal withdrawal.
Most women get their periods within 3 months of stopping the pill.
If you do not get your period by XXXXXXX you should consult a gynecologist for complete internal evaluation ( per vaginum and per speculum ), pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal levels ( FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin ).
Also, I hope that pregnancy has been conclusively ruled out with a proper pregnancy test.
All the best
