    Default off the pill, late period, negative pregnancy test

    So I decided to go off the pill. Which I thought in retrospect was a painfully bad decision when I found my period late by two weeks. I bought a pregnancy test and it came up negative. Relief! Now, the only thing is that Im now late by four weeks! My nipples are really sensitive like right before I get my period, and I'm moody too. What's going on? Has anyone else experienced this when going off the pill? I figure it's just my hormones reestablishing their normal balance or something...but I don't want to be pregnant, and be ignoring it the whole time!

    When I went off the pill it took about 2 months for my period to come back.. It's completely normal to have to wait up to 6 months for your period again. Don't worry, and use other protection, of course

    This could be just hormonal imbalance. If you took the test two weeks after your period should have started and it came out negative, the chances that you are pregnant are very minimal. Tests can detect very small portions of pregnancy hormones which kick in full time one week after you were supposed to start.

    If you want to be superduper sure ofcourse, talk to your doctor.

    They say to give yourself up to six months for your period to regulate itself. Especially if you have underlying problems like endo or anything like that.

    I had the same problem when I went off the pill to switch to a different pill... it took about 2-3 months for my period to get regular again....
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    same issue .I went off the pill a lil over a month ago now. My period was about 2 weeks late. its just your bodys way of getting back on track.

    Id say all is normal.. just make sure to use something else for protection because no periods and ovulating sooner thennormal is very common. So is getting knocked up asap after going off the pill
