Stopped taking the pill

So this month I stopped taking the pill because they side effects were taking too much of a toll on my body and I couldn't stand it. Does anyone know how this could effect my period or if anyone else has stopped taking the pill and thier period came late? Because I'm a little over a week late with my period, I only had protected sex once after stopping the pill and I have no pregnancy symptoms.
