Can Birth Control Pill Usage Cause Irregular Menstrual Cycle?
I was on a birth control pill for about a month. It was causing me to be very moody, and have awful cramps. So i stopped, but i stopped in the middle of a pack. There was 3 weeks of hormone pills, then one week of substitute pills. I ttook one month of pills had my period, I took one weak of hormone pills then stopped. I had a period about a week after I stopped. My period normally comes on the 1 of every month. I stopped last month, it is now december and the first has passed and then the date of my withdrawal bleed had passed. I have not had a period.
Could the birth control have messed with my cycle that badly, or could i be pregnant?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, generally birth control pills do not cause irregular cycles, but still your date is missed then do urine pregnancy test and ultrasound abdomen and pelvis for confirmation after gynecologist consultation. There is chance of pregnancy even though you took birth control pills. Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
