4 Days Late - or is my cycle just a mess

[BronzyBaybee]

Hey all,

So this last month has been our first month TTC and so my first month pill free. I was previously taking the Combined Pill.

Well according to my 'cycle' for as long as I can remember I have had a super regular period and now all of a sudden I'm 5 days late. I've got no PMS symptoms, which I usually get bloated and a really bad back pain but I've also got no early pregnancy symptoms either. I've taken a test and it's come back negative.

Is this normal when first coming off the pill? I don't want to keep taking tests every few days if it's normal, and I don't want to drive myself mad looking for symptoms.

Any advise or experiences would be helpful x

Hello! If you've been on the pill you haven't had a cycle whilst on it - so you don't know if you're regular or not? Based on that, how can you be late - compared to what?

It can take a while to regulate once off the pill (up to a year) so all you can do is be patient I'm afraid. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you though, everyone reacts differently to it. There's a post pill thread on here where ladies have jumped straight into 28 day cycles whereas others went nearly 6 months before their first period off pill.
