I stopped taking my birth control after my last period...I had sex once since then (with a condom) anyway, so my period is 2 1/2 weeks late. I took a pregnancy last week. It was negative, I took one again this morning...negative...why is my period late then?

Anytime you do any changes with hormones (eg birth control), it takes a little bit for your body to get back on track. And if you're stressing about not having the period, that can contribute too.

There are sooo many reaons why your period could be late. Stress, going off the pills, exercise, diet, etc..... Two negative tests after missing your period for 2 1/2 weeks sounds like you're really not pregnant to me. However, if you don't get it in another week, test again and go to the doc. There's just too many things that could cause this.

You probably aren't pregnant, it's just a reaction to your body coming off of the birth control pill. My period was a week late when I switched from Seasonale to Ortho Trycycline Lo. If you start experiencing any side effects of pregnancy, such as food cravings, fatigue, moodiness, etc ... see a doctor. Hope this helped, periods can be a very complicated thing.

If you just stopped birth control it takes a few months for your body to adjust. You go without a period this month and have two next month. Give it time.

I don't think you are pregnant. But I do know that when you stop taking your B/C pills it effect your period, so it can throw it off. So for now don't sweat it. If a month passes and you still don't get your period go to the doctor to find out if you can be pregnant!

it could be messed up because of the sudden stopping of the birth control. If you're using condoms, I'm going to assume you don't want to be pregnant. Why did you stop the birth control, then?

well it could be an effect from going off the birth control, you're body is adjusting back to normal. keep in mind that condoms have tiny holes so sperm can still get in you (thats why they are only a certain percentage and not 100% safe).

It can happen after you stop taking birth control. Your body needs time to readjust. Give it some time, it will come.

lots of reasons, stress, changes in your diet or exercise, or your body not being used to being without birth control, and extreme change or emotions could affect it. but you should go to a doctor just to make sure
