A member asked:

Off birth control and my period is delayed. possible side effect or pregnant?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Take a test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. You said you were off birth control so a late period is not a side effect since you are not on anything. Consider restarting birth control for cycle regulation
