Does Using The Contraceptive Pill Regularly Make It Ineffective?
Hi, I took the pill for years and decided to stop 4 months ago as I had no sex drive. I also started to take Fluoxetine 3 or months ago. When I stopped the pill I got my period normally after a week... then again after a month and again after that. However, I'm 1 week late now. I have the symptoms but no sign of period. I have been married for years and I'm not trying to get pregnant (quite the opposite).We had protected sex close to my ovulation date and never noice a problem with the condom. Should I test for pregnancy or is this normal?

Hello,
Since you are sexually active and notice that you are almost a week overdue for your period, it is best to take a home pregnancy test, to rule out pregnancy. If negative, then you will likely get your period in next few days.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
