A member asked:
Does stopping birth control usually make your period start early or late. i'm a week late but pregnancy test is negative. my periods have been regular?

Both: It depends on when one stops their contraception and what method has been used. Irregular cycles can occur after hormonal contraception stops. Using condoms would reduce the risk of pregnancy. Repeat the pregnancy test in one week if menses do not occur.
