i posted here about a week and a half back, but i come to you again with a similar question. i went off of birth control about 4 months ago. i was only on it to prevent pregnancy; no other reasons. the first month i went off of it it came pretty much on time. only a day late. the 2nd month i can't remember if it caem on time. and last month it was about 12-14 days late. i know that going off of the pill can mess your periods up because your body is going back to normal, but this month i am about a week late roughly. i had some cramps like my period was going to start for about a week. it was off and on throughout the day, but nothing ever came. do you think that it could just be the pill that is making me late again? or do you think i could be pregnant? i don't want to rush out to the store to buy a test because we are tight on money right now, but i hate having to wait another week to see if it comes, since last month it was around 14 days late. thank you everyone for your replies :)

Hello, Cythreal. I know when I was pregnant with my daughter, I kept feeling like I was going to get my period and it never came. However, where you were 14 days late last month, it's possible your body is adjusting or maybe you have a longer cycle now. I'm not sure if that can change. Do you know how many days your cycle was before you started BC? Maybe it was longer than was BC is. You can always buy a preg test at the dollar store too.

It could very well be the fact that you just came off BC.
