My period was irregular before I got on birth control. I started my pack of combination birth control pills on the first day of my period. I only took the pills for 5 days and stopped after that. I wonder can I ovulate soon after I stopped taking the pills or is it gone be delayed. So far I missed 3 pills.

It seems like you have a lot of different questions that are being ascribed to you. Why did you stop your pill after 5 days? Are you trying to get pregnant? If you have irregular periods and are trying to get pregnant then you should not be treated with birth control pills, however if you are trying to make your periods regular and do not want to get pregnant then birth control pills make sense. If you are going to stop your pills before the end of the pack you will not only have more irregular bleeding but run the risk of getting pregnant. You need to sit down with an OB/Gyn to help you sort this out. Good luck.
Five days isn't long enough to prevent pregnancy, as it takes up to a month to produce contraception. The fact that your cycle is irregular is a HUGE issue, and can lead to other issues in the future like arthritis, lupus, or thyroid problems. Here is what I find to be the best way to regulate the cycle, and get rid of things ilke PMS or cramps (neither of which are normal).
'Want a quick and easy way to start balancing your hormones? Whether it's PMS or cramps or plain grumpiness, this simple addition to your day has been shown to help all of these! From day one of your period (the first day you bleed), take 2 TBSP of GROUND flax/chia/pumpkin seeds. Choose any seed you like, but be sure to grind them first. Flax seeds are conveniently sold ground already. Then, 2 weeks later (15 days from start of bleeding), switch to ground sunflower or sesame seeds. If your period is very irregular, you can use the moon cycle: day 1 of the month is the new moon. Then, on the full moon switch to sunflower/sesame seeds. The flax/chia/pumpkin seeds contain oils and compounds that support estrogen, and the other seeds support progesterone, right when we need it. Because this is very powerful, do not use this if you are using any kind of hormonal contraception. Do not use if you are allergic to any of these seeds.'
