What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

I have been off the pill for 3 months as I am trying for a child. I keep getting period pain but don't have any bleeding this has been going on for 6 days. I was due for my period 5 days ago and have done a pregnancy test that was negative. What could the pain be?

Hi,
Once you have been off the pill,you will have irregular periods for 3-6 months.
Pain may be due to delayed periods.I suggest you wait for few more days.If you will not get periods then I suggest you get complete blood test,thyroid test.if everything normal then I suggest you get ultra sound scan to rule out the polycystic ovaries.If you are over weight try to reduce weight.It helps you regularize your periods and you able to conceive.
