Hello, I just need a little advice from some ladies out there who might have gone through the same thing. If this is a little long I'm sorry. :) I have been on ortho tri cyclen for about 3 years now. AF came to visit on August 13. I started a new pill pack on the 17th, but oh the 24th I left them at home while going on a two week vacation. So I had another period on the Aug. 27. I have not taken BC since the 24th. Durring then my husband and I had sex several times. It is now the 25th almost 26th and I have not started AF yet, but was supposed to on Sept 23-24. I have always been very regular because of birth control. So do you think my hormones are just messed up from coming off the pill or could I be pregnant. I don't want to take a test just yet out of fear it might be too early to tell. Thank you very much for your advice!

Anything is possible, but I doubt you're pregnant. Going off BCP can really mess up your cycles. When I first went off, the doctor prescribed something to make me get my period.

I've now been of BC for 4 months, and I still don't have normal cycles. So, if you're really worried you should take a test.

Hope things turn out how you want!
