Hey,
Im trying to figure out exactly when my periods suppose to be.
My last period was Aug. 3 ,I think I was suppse to start Aug. 30(Sunday) Its now Sept. 1(Tuesday).
I also just got off on birthcontrol a few months ago and that's why I haven't figured out my right cycle yet. But average, would thoughs dates be right?
Little worried I could be pregnant. Thanks:)

Irregularity after coming off birth control is commonplace.
It may take up to six months to become regular.
I would suggest that if you have a no show after one week from today ,you test for pregnancy using first morning urine.

OK ill wait and take one in a few more days.
I'm just usually veryy regular with my periods even before I was on birthconrtol and my frist period after I stopped taking because it was right on time.
I have had unprotected s a few times this month. Does anyone know the possiblitys then?

If you've had sex at all, unprotected or not then there is a chance of pregnancy. I would say that this is due to irregularity from coming off birth control BUT pregnancy would also explain your late period. Just take a HPT with first morning urine in a couple of days and treat your body as if you are pregnant until you know for sure.

What do you mean treat it as I'm pregnant?
What do I need to do differently?
And just to be on the safe side and so I stop worrying I think I'm going to take a test tomarrow. Thanks.

Just don't smoke or drink. Be nice to your body just in case there is a little one on board. Just remember if you take one tomorrow you could get a false positive so make sure to take another a week later also.

Hey I would adivise you wairt awile also hun as it could be too early. As for your irregular periods it doesn't really matter how regular you was before going on birthcontrol as your body has been used to BEING on it and needs time to adjust before returning to normal. I understand this is a confusing time with all the question am I pregnant/am I not pregnant. I am going throuigh the same thing and am still waiting for my period but not sure what is the cause of why its not here yet. Just be patient and wait awhile x

Oh nooo I do not smoke or drink at all!!
I will wait to next week, but this waiting is awful. And oh I knoww it takes a while to show up on a test.
I will be surprised though if I start my period, but also so surprised if I'm pregnant.

I know waiting is the worst thing ever its like when you want something you don't want to have to wait you want it right there and then. But it will all be worth it in the end x
