waiting for AF

I'm currently waiting for my cycle to begin.  I haven't had a cycle since July 2015 when I got pregnant.  I was on the POP starting 6 weeks after my daughter was born.  I stopped taking it on February 1st when she was 9.5 months old. I'm currently waiting for my cycle to reappear so my body can regulate itself.  I'm also pretty sure I have a cyst again since I'm feeling the same pain.  I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or any insight on this or experienced the same thing.  Thanks in advance.
