Late Period After Stopping Birth Control: Causes & What to Expect
QuestionI recently quit taking the pill (Trinessa). I was supposed to start a new pack on February 12th. I never did, but am now long overdue for my period (almost three weeks late; I have not been sexually active since I quit taking the pill). Before I quit taking the pill, I had my period twice since the last time I was with anyone (which was the first week of December). Is it possible for me to be pregnant or is a late period normal for people after stopping taking the pill (I was on it for about 3 years).
AnswerSex makes babies, so if you haven't had sex you can't be pregnant. Stopping the pill can cause cycle irregulaties to become obvious - you don't know what your normal body has been doing for 3 years, so things could have changed. If you are concerned, you should get a pregnancy test and find out.
