Late period ?'s: Stress (emotional, school, work) can delay ovulation. If pregnancy is possible, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy. The left side pain may be caused by an ovarian cyst, so if the pain persists, see your gyn physician.

Menses: If you have been taking a BCP for a awhile and now stopped it can take a few months for some women to restart there period naturally. After pregnancy this can be up to 6 months. As to the pain it is most likely ovarian. However, left sided pain can be caused by gynecological problems, urological problems or GI
