My period is late and I'm on the pill!?!?
I had sex about 3 weeks ago and I was on the pill...I'm now on the week when I'm meant to get my period but a condom was also used and we were really careful. I don't know if it could be to do with stress either because for the last few weeks I've been worrying about results and getting into university and everything...I haven't had any symptoms that my period is coming though like cramps or sore boobs but I've definitely been emotional like I usually get before my period.

Your best bet right now is to wait it out. Stress can have an effect on your menstrual cycle, so I'd wait a few more days. If nothing happens, the best suggestion I can give is to take a pregnancy test and hope for the best. Though if you were pregnant, I would assume you should already be showing signs. But try to maintain your stress level anyway because it can cause you to have late periods or skip them all together.

It's probably the pill, there are different kinds of pill, one is for regulating periods, and another for contraception. If you're on the pill, it might have stopped your periods because the pill tricks your body into thinking that it's pregnant, therefore you dont have periods. which stops you getting pregnant
