Missed Period. Started Birth Control. Am I Pregnant?

hi, i was wondering why i might have missed my period, i am about a week late for my period, the last time i had sex was about 3 months ago, i was on the pill at the time and also used a condom, i have gotten my period 3 times since then but i have missed this one, i must also point out that the passed 3-4 weeks i have been off my birth control pills and am now back on them, is my body just getting used to the pills again or am i pregnant?

Hello,

If you had sex 3 months ago and got regular period after that, then possibility of pregnancy is ruled out.

There are several reasons of late period like hormonal imbalance, stress, over wt, ovarian cyst, irregular diet habit, psychiatric medication etc. Irregular taking of birth control pill is the most important cause in this context.

You may require overall health check up. Kindly, consult with your doctor for relevant investigation of irregular cycle. Take suggestive measure accordingly.

Maintain healthy life style and avoid stress.
