Q: No Signs of My Period, Negative Test Results.

So here's the deal...
In april I was taking birth control, so i'm pretty sure I got my period in the last week. I didn't take birth control or get my period in may. I'm still waiting to hope it comes within the next few days. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it showed negative.

Could going off the birth control have anything to do with my period being late??

Any thoughts?...I could really use some help!!!

Did you have unprotected sex since going off birth control? If not, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant.

No form of birth control is 100%, but I never had a problem using condoms when I was trying to avoid pregnancy. Unless the condom broke or something, then yes, you could be pregnant.

It can take awhile for your cycles to get back to normal after stopping birth control pills. My first cycle off the pill was 35 days. I've known other women to go a couple of months before getting their periods again after stopping the pill, while still others go right back to 28 day cycles. If you were regular before the pill, hopefully your cycles should regulate after a few months. By the 2nd month off the pill, my cycle had gone to 30 days and from then on, it was 27-28 days.

More Info..
Thank you so much for replying!!

The only method of safe sex I've ever been able to use has been the pill. So, yes I have had unprotected sex since I have gone off of my birth control.

I do have polycystic ovarion syndrome, so I have always had irregular periods.

So with all of these things combined together, I don't know what to think except to wait a couple more days and take another test.

What do you think?
