Q: Period a Week Late!

asked by: buttercup on February 25th, 2007

I stopped taking hormonal birth control 2 months ago, and my husband and I have used condoms and coitis interruptus as birth control.

For the first 2 cycles off birth control, my period came like clockwork. No worries there. Now I'm on my 3rd monthly cycle -- and my period has not come yet. In fact, it's now a week late. Sad

I've taken 3 pregnancy tests since my period was due, and they've all been negative. However, I am still very worried. Is there a chance my cycles are still a little haywire after coming off birth control? Or is there a chance I'm pregnant, despite the negative tests?

Thanks!!!

if you just came off birth control 2 months ago, it's more than likely just your body adjusting. if you're a week late & you've taken multiple pregnancy tests that have all come up negative.. it's probably safe to say that you aren't pregnant. like the above poster said, if you're really that worried, go to the doctor & get a blood test.

Thanks for the replies. Three negative tests is a lot of proof, I guess, but I just needed some reassurance. Still no sign of it coming yet (it's never been this late before, ever) but I had some cramping last night, so hopefully that's a good sign.
