Side effect of getting off of the pill

Hey I have question about the side effects of getting off of birth control. I got off of the pill (for financial reasons) after I had my period at its regular time. I did not have my period last week as scheduled and it has now been six days since it should have started. I took a pregnancy test on the thrid day after it should have started but it came back negative. Is skipping a period a side effect of getting off of the pill?

Delayed ovulation can be a side effect of stopping hormonal contraceptives. It might take a few weeks for you to begin cycling naturally again. Be sure to use another effective method of contraception. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
