Q: Can Birth Control Delay Your Period After 2 Months of Use?

Hello, i've been married 6 months, i'm new here and I have a question.
My period is 5 days late and I was wondering if the pill is what caused it. I was only on it for 2 months and i've been off just over a month now.
I had a withdrawal bleed when I stopped and it went away for like 2 days then came back. Even though I had this bleeding then, could I still be pregnant or am I late because of the past pill use? The only pregnancy like symptom i've had is really painful leg cramps at night, oh and also i've been severely bloated for the past 3 weeks.
Umm..Just wanted some advice...If its not possibble to be pregnant i'll stop obssesing.
Thanks so much for your time! :)

I stopped taking the depo shot april of last year. And my period is just starting to get back to normal. At least I hope it is. And me and my hubsand is trying to get pregnant. Have yet so far. But anything is possible. If you think you might be pregnant. Take a test or go to the doctor.

Anytime you need to talk just post or send me a pm.

yeah, you could be preg. Leg pains aren't usually a preg symptom though. Starting and stopping the pill does a number on your cycle/hormones, but I would think it would be out of your system by now. Idk, test.

Thanks so much you guys! :d
i was just wondering if I had valid reason to go and pick up a test. I just hate getting my hopes up, and here the tests are expensive.
Good luck to you conceiving! It must be a great feeling to plan it from the very beginning. ((hugs))
and to the second poster, thanks for the advice, i'm going to pick one up tomorrow. Also, about the leg pain its just strange because I wasn't getting it before so I assumed it might be a symptom. I guess not all things are connected though.
Well you guys, thanks so much for replying so fast. I'm really super antsy!
Take care!
((hugs))
