I stopped taking the pill after only a few months because I was having a ton of breakthrough bleeding and rather than having a moderately heavy period for a week I was having an extremely light one for 2 weeks. Also, I forgot to refill my prescription and would've ended up starting the pack several days late so I decided to give my body time to regulate its hormones then start a fresh pack. I was supposed to get my period last week and I haven't gotten it. I don't think it's possible i'm pregnant since i've only had sex a few times since my last period and it was never unprotected and the condom never malfunctioned. Is it possible that going off birth control could make my period late? And if so, how late is it typically? I'm only worried because I became pregnant with twins last year after using a condom that slipped off and then taking emergency contraception. It was a million and one chance I was pregnant, and I ended up having twins!
