A member asked:
I stopped my birth control 4 weeks ago and haven't gotten my period yet, i was due 2 days ago.. is this bad?

No.: You're describing "post-pill amenorrhea". Because your reproductive system has been relying on artificial hormones for contraception and cycle regulation, the hormones that orchestration the cycle have been "asleep." Your own hormonal system may take a few months to "wake up". BTW, you could ovulate before your period so, if you don't want to get pregnant, use some type of contraception.
