Q: Stopping the Pill...can It Make Ur Periods Late?

Hello i've used ortho tricyclen lo for about 4 months...I stopped like a month ago because my mom found out about it...And now i'm expecting my period either yesterday or today because i'm a 28-29 cycle...But no periods...I've bought hpt...The early response pregnancy test..And it came out negative...I also did the test early in the morning because according to the instructions the first urine in the morning may contain the highest level of hcg hormone...But the test came out negative..I haven't had real sex after I stopped my birth control pills. Me and my bf just fooled around sometimes and there was this one time that I though maybe some sperm can be deposited near my vulva so I took a morning after pill...But we never really had sex...My question is...Can stopping birth control make your periods late because i'm supposed to start with nuvaring this month and i'm waiting for my period to come so that I can start using it...Please help me I need all of your responses..Thanks

Your body is off balance with the loss of hormones you were taking. The morning after pill is a mega dose of hormones as well. Continue using other forms of birth control and wait for your period to show up. Stopping birth control and using the morning after pill can both cause late periods.

Good luck!
