Q: After Going Off of the Pill, Is a Missed Period Normal?

After taking the birth control pill for over two years, I had to go off of the pill last month because I was not able to get a new supply in time. I am not currently sexually active so I did not see it as being a problem. However, my period is now two weeks late. As I said, I am not currently sexually active (meaning I have had no sex in the month I have been off of birth control) and the last time I had any sort of intimate relation with anyone was 3 1/2 months ago. This was not sexual intercourse and I had received three periods after this time. As a result, I am wondering if this is simply a normal side effect of going off of the pill after such an extended period of time, or if this is a sign of some underlying medical condition. Meaning, should I discuss this with my doctor or is this something completely normal? If anyone has been in a similar situation, I would appreciate your feedback.
