Question
Hi im 23 i was on levlen ED for abit over a year i took my last pill on the 11th of october i got my period on the 13th of october for 3 days its now the 13th of november and i havent got my next period yet could i be pregnant or have i miss calculated when ill get my period since im no longer taking levlen ED, my partner and are trying to have a baby so its a little frustrating not knowing whats going on  

Answer
It's very common that when a woman stops the pill, her following period will be a week or 2 late.  Once your periods come, you'll usually get back to your previous cycles.  If you don't get a period in 2 weeks, then I'd do a pregnancy test, but it's likely that it will come.
