Missed period

On my last pill pack, I skipped my placebo pills so that I could skip my period for a concert I was going to. On this month's pill pack, I have gone through all my placebo pills but I still have not gotten my period. Could skipping it last month make me miss it this month? I have also heard that stress can delay your period, and I've been very stressed about moving into college. I'm very worried that I am pregnant now that I have missed my period.

Skipping a placebo pills results in a longer time using the progesterone pretty of the pill which results in a thinner lining. This can get thin enough that there is little lining to bleed.

It's unlikely that you're pregnant but just use a home pregnancy test of you're nervous.

When you are on birth control pills, stress cannot make you miss your period.

If you are on a low dose pill, skipping your period is not rare

The odds of your being pregnant are very very small

Just keep on going and if still concerned, get a blood pregnancy test.

Urine preg tests are reliable only when positive

Doubtful you are pregnant as long as you didn't miss pills. Skipping a cycle could have made you irregular. Take the placebo pills and start the new pack if you didnt miss any but still just do a urine preg test to be safe. Any questions then see your gynecologist
