A member asked:

Is it possible that i am a week late on my period because i stopped taking bc ? i tried a pregnancy test but came bk neg

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you were in the middle of a pill pack and stopped your pills, then your next period will almost certainly be abnormal / early / delayed. If you simply stopped your pills and are late, then it might be that you did not ovulate or ovulation was delayed.
