Best Answer

Your period can be late for various reasons. Stress is a main one. Sometimes when you are on the pill you will not have a period. Typically when you are on Birth Control pills your cycles are regular. If you have taken your pills correctly and have not missed one or have not been on any medication that can affect the efficacy of them you are probably not pregnant. Take a pregnancy test if you are not sure.

Im 6 days late first month of not takin the pill im getting cramps but no period this is my first really late period?

hello, if i read correctly, it's the first month you stopped using the pill, and your 6 days late with your period. Well, possibilities are is that your body was very used to taking the pill, so it's used to the routine of you taking the pill, and getting your period whenever uour supposed to get it. It may also be because when taking the pill, your period lasts a few days shorter than the average lenght of an average woman without taking the pill, meaning yours can last from 3-4 days, while an avergare woman without taking the pill can be 7-8 days. It's possible that your cramps are coming back because you haven't been using the pill, and your period will maybe come later on. The pill also stops cramps, so without you taking the pill, your body will be getting cramps again. Other possibilities are is that when you stress a lot about something, you can get a late period, or since you haven't been taking the pill, if you are sexually active, you may be pregnant. Consult a doctor, they always know best. Good Luck!
