First month off the pill and i haven't got a period ( 4 days late ) should i test? i was only on the pill for a year and a half

Maybe: You could be pregnant, however it would be hard to tell and may be too early for a test to be positive. If no period in a week, test then. Pregnancy tests usually are not able to detect pregnancy until around 10 days of pregnancy or so. Also, it is very common for the menstrual cycle to be irregular for up to 3-4 months after stopping an oral contraceptive.
