When will I get my period, since I stopped taking the Birth Control?

I recently stopped taking my birth control. I was on it for 6 months. I was on some low overal or something, basically just a BC my insurance would pay for, I gained a lot of weight and switched to a different 1, I forget what it was called but I stopped taking it when I started my period on it, because I could never remember and I think it's just easier to use condoms. ANYWAYS,

I had my most recent period June 24 - 28. I stopped taking the birth control in between that. I did have un-protected sex a day or two after my period, but I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative.

When do I get my period? I'm starting to freak out. My boobs are sore and I get cramps in my stomach sometimes, but I haven't gotten it yet. Please help?

Update:

My period is NOT a month late, I had it just last month and it should be due any time now, I just want to know when it might be coming, if I will get it at all.

  • Being on the pill only 6 months shouldn't effect your cycle that much. It took my body 11 days to run it o ut the system. I was on a high dose for 10 months (been on hormonal birth control for 8yrs straight) I would say if you don't get it within the next week take another test and go see a DR.

    You should look into fertility Awareness. You can oinpoint ovulation to the day and can see when AF is about to arrive

    that's punctiliously wide-spread. combating or commencing any sort of hormonal delivery administration is for particular to have an impression on your cycle. It seems such as you may desire to be getting your era any day now. i'm sorry the pill made you experience ill, it does the same to me. maybe attempt a various variety of pill or some thing with a decrease dose of hormones? If there is an possibility you may desire to be pregnant, take a attempt.

    If you were regular before going on the pill, then you should get it about when you would have if you continued the pills. But it can also be later. It is sort of difficult to predict, but if you started taking a pack of pills and then stopped, I would think it can add some time to it. You may be irregular for a bit before your body sort of readjusts itself again.

    it can take up to a year for some people to get their bodies back to normal. it's really hard to say when your period is coming because it take awhile for your body to adjust to not having those hormones. you might miss a month you might get your periods several times a month. so yeah don't get freaked out if your period doesn't come this month

    Your period is a month late, you have sore breasts, and you had unprotected sex. You have a good chance of being pregnant, negative test or not. Go into the clinic and get a blood test!
