Thread: No period after going off the pill

I was on the pill for about 5 months, and then I went off it. I stopped taking the pill after my last period, which was January 1st. It has been three weeks now and I am admittedly only 3 days late, but I have never been late before. I am sure its just my body readjusting all the hormone levels, since I have heard that this kind of thing does happen, however I still am a little freaked out. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Any suggestions? Should I wait a bit longer and take another test, or should I go and see a doctor right away?

Anytime you stop taking a pill your body needs to adjust. I would wait a little longer before calling the dr. If you do not get it within another week, give the dr a call and see if he/she feels the need to see you. They may be able to talk to you over the phone.
