Stopping BC- is a late period common?
| Tue, 10-31-2006 - 6:34am |
I stopped taking the Pill after the last cycle (I'm single now, don't intend to date for awhile, I need to save money, and I figured I should let my body have a break from the extra hormones). This week would technically be my placebo-pill week- the week my period always starts. It would always start on the Wednesday of that week, but the last few cycles, it was starting on Thursdays. Today is Tuesday and there has been no sign of my period- I am craving salt and stuff, but I've not had any cramps, or anything like that- I used to have more severe PMS symptoms when I was not on the Pill- they were by no means horrible, but they were more noticeable. I haven't had sex since the beginning of September (which is when my boyfriend and I broke up), so I can't be pregnant- I've had my period since then, as well. Could going off the Pill cause my period to come late? I won't start worrying until Thursday, but I was just curious. I was on the Pill for over 2 years, so I don't know what sort of effect that would have on it.

Hi wurkit_gurl, welcome!
