    I'd take a deep breather. Only 0.1%% chances are that you are pregnant - that is if you took your pill correctly.

    It's not abnormal to miss your period some months, not in the least. As the previous poster has said, stress plays a HUGE factor in your cycle. And I can imagine this whole mess is stressing you out even more!

    Stop your pill as if you were having your period, continue your pill the day you normally would. You might get some spotting in your month, but if you have been taking your pill properly you should be protected. I'm no doc - run all of this by your doc.

    I'd also take a home pregnancy test - not because I' m actually thinking you're pregnant, but it would ease your mind to know you are not.

      This could simply be the Pill just kicking in. Most medication takes about 6 months before it becomes completely effective and it could just be taking effect on your periods now. If you haven't been using other forms of protection beore now, do take a test.

    Birth Control, as well as condoms, are only 99.99%% effective. If you never miss your period and you are 3 days late it would be smart to take a pregnancy test.

    Other reasons you may miss your period is stress. My wife once missed her period for over a month and she did not end up being pregnant. She was under a lot of stress as well as stressing about having missed her period which made it worse.

    Take a test. You don't want to leave anything up to chance.
