Delayed period after stopping birth control? Posted: 04-26-08 16:25pm
I know I need to just take a pregnancy
test but in the mean time I was wondering
if anyone else has experienced this.
I finished taking a whole set of the pills
and had the placebo week as usual and then
decided that I just wasn't going to take
the pill anymore, because I wasn't
sexually active.
The last day of my period (while I was on
the pill) was the March 28th and I hadn't
been sexually active for about 2 weeks
before that cycle ended. Now since I am
not taking birth control I am pretty late
on getting my period. I know there can be
many causes for not getting my period, but
I was wondering if anyone else has
experienced this much of a delay (two
weeks) on their period after stopping
birth control.
Thanks so much for your help.

This is completely normal. Quitting birth
control can delay your period. For some
women it can take a couple of months for
their cycle to regulate.
