Period came 5 days late still worried

[user1465987738]

Well last month i came off my pill as it wasn't agreeing with me . i was due to have my normal period last Friday/Saturday, it didn't come. So i started panicking thinking i was pregnant even though my husband didn't ejaculate in me (sorry tmi) i took a pg test on Monday and it was negative then this morning my period came really heavy. So why am i still telling myself im pregnant?! I suffer anxiety and ocd so i don't think this is helping matters. Do you think my period was late because of coming off my pill or could i be pregnant ?

I think your period was late. Take another pregnancy test to put your mind at rest. However, as you have your period I doubt you're pregnant.

Hi, I'm not a medical professional so this is just suggestions of possibilities rather than solid medical advice.

It could be because you stopped the pill but was it the sort where you had a break each month anyway in which case, how was your body to 'know you'd stopped.

It could be anxiety that made your period late. If mine is ever a day later than I expect I get incredibly anxious (like you, I suffer from anxiety and OCD) and my anxiety seems to make my period later.

Another option could be that you suffered a chemical pregnancy or early miscarriage when only a few days pregnant. I have had one before- I tested and knew I was pregnant and then had a very heavy period a week later.

I think, if I was you, I would take another test to put your mind at rest.
