    How long after birthcontrol should I have a period?
    If I stopped talking my birthcontrol and my period was suppose to start this week.
    Does it take longer before you would have your period or
    Is there a chance I'm pregnant?

    Need more details.
    IF you stopped? Did you or did you not? If you were supposed to stop and did, then yes, you should expect your period this week. If you were supposed to stop but went right onto the next pill pack instead of stopping, no you should not expect if.

    How long have you been on because? The first month I took because my period was really late. Anytime I switch types of because pills it throws my cycle off. Or even if I'm on the same kind but I miss a pill it can throw my cycle off.

    Anytime you have sex there is always some chance of pregnancy. No because is 100% effective. If you believe you may be pregnant, you should take a hpt or see your dr.

    I just stop taking my birthcontrol last month and this week I was suppose to have my period and its 5 days late.
    I took birthsontrol for little over 2 years.

    Before I took birthcontrol I was very regular and while taking birthcontrol if I missed one pill or switched birthcontrol I bleed every time.
    So I really felt like I should have started on time.

    If you went from taking because for two years to not taking it for just one month so far, that's a pretty big change for your body. And certainly enough of a change that it would be reasonable for it to throw your cycle off. I wouldn't stress over it at this point. But again, if you think you may be pregnant, you should take a hpt or see your dr.
