[|Human|] I was on previously on birth control to regulate my cycle and came off of it in September. My cycle has been somewhat irregular since then, but I have still been having periods every month. I had unprotected sex last month (pull out method), but had my regular period two days after. It has now been 5 weeks since the first day of my last period, and I have taken several at home pregnancy tests, whicChatDoctore out negative. Could the late period still be due to me coming off of birth control? Or should I go to the doctors to get a pregnancy test completed?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. You had the intercourse just before the onset of your natural period and this makes it safe. Please note that ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period. You should also take into account the irregularity of your cycles in recent times. You have to count the longest cycle duration and if it passes this date also, then consider it as a missed period. Furthermore, you can get the blood test for a better clarification and see a specialist for further management. Hope this helps.
