Delayed Periods After Stopped Taking Contraceptive Pill. Pregnancy Test Negative. Will I Have Difficulty In Conceiving?

Hi, I am trying to conceive, I stopped my pill the end of september and my period was due yesterday. My periods have not come, I have done a pregnancy test which is negative. Last time I came off my pill to conceive I had no problems and had my next period as normal. I am really worried as how am I suppose to plan conceiving if I am not having periods.

HELLO THERE.

THANKS FOR WRITING.

PAST USE OF ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS DOES NOT AFFECT FERTILITY.
IT DOES NOT DELAY CONCEPTION.

THE DELAY IN PERIODS COULD BE DUE TO SLIGHT HORMONAL IMBALANCE WHICH CAN BE DUE TO OTHER ASSOCIATED REASONS LIKE STRESS, ANXIETY, CHANGE IN ENVIRONMENT AND WEIGHT GAIN.

THE FIRST PERIOD AFTER STOPPING THE PILL CAN BE AFFECTED IN TERMS OF ONSET. BUT YOU NEED NOT WORRY BECAUSE OF THIS REGARDING YOUR SUBSEQUENT PERIODS AND ABILITY TO CONCEIVE.

PILL USE DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO CONCEIVE IN ANY WAY ONCE THEY ARE STOPPED.

TAKE CARE
