OK so I came off the pill last March. I came off it mid-pack so I kinda expected things might be out of sync for my first couple of periods maybe.

After stopping the pill I got a slightly shorter than usual period almost straight away.
Then my second period was 2 weeks late.
My third period arrived exactly on time.

All my periods were a little shorter than usual. But I expected everything to be pretty smooth and more regular from here. BUT my fourth period is now 7 weeks late! (my last period ended on the 26th May)

Is this normal or has it happened to anyone else? My periods had always been very regular, even before i went on the pill. I have already done 2 pregnancy tests that were negative. I hadn't been on the pill that long either - maybe 2 years? (I'm 22). Oh and the pill I used was ovranette.

I’ve gained a lot of weight since coming off the pill aswel (20lbs) but I don’t know if that was because I quit smoking around the same time as coming off the pill. My hormones are all over the place, I get emotional a lot and it doesn’t help that I’ve gained all this weight. I’ve tried for months counting calories/exercising 45 mins a day/5 days a week etc but I cant seem to lose weight and that makes me sad and I just end up eating more. And no, it wasn’t muscle I put on, because my clothes were getting tighter not looser.

Sorry this is so long, just hoped someone might have had a similar experience.. is it normal for my period to be so late?
