ok..here's the thing..I had gotten off my period around March 23...I had been on birth control up to that time.. Well..on March 26th I had sex with my bf and had taken my birth control the night before.. After we had sex on the 26th..I didn't take my birth control that night and have completely stopped taking them. About 5-6 days later I had light bleeding..which became heavy like a normal period and last about 4-5 days... It is now April 17th..and my period was supposed to come on today..but hasn't quite yet.. I have been dizzy these past couple of days..my cheeks and face are extremely hot and pink..I have small red spots on my breasts and they are a little tender.. I am having a little cramping..but not constant... Just wondering what is going on??...

Anytime that you stop taking bc in the middle of a cycle, you are likely to start AF several days later. If I read you correctly, then that's what you did. If it was me, I would consider that the start of a new cycle and expect my next AF to be later than expected.

I know that inconsistent bc also causes many people to have annoying hormonal symptoms, so that may be the cause.

However, you are almost certainly aware that if you are off bc, then you may be pg. Not much help, but you can't reliably monitor any symptoms when you first stop bc.

I found that anytime I stopped taking BC that I skipped a period.
