Q: light period on pill

Hi,
I have been on the pill since I was 14, I am now 22.
My periods have always been very regular and last about 4 days.
I should be having my period now.
I cam on early on wednesday this week, but also came off early on thursday night.
It was a very light period too, which is odd as I normaly am quite heavy.
I would like to know if a virus I had the week before could be effecting it, or even if there is a possibilty that I might be pregnant as I missed about 3 of the pill in the last month.
I do not use any other contraception with my other half.

Hi, I've read so many posts of women falling pregnant while on contraceptiveson this site, that I don't think you can exclude that possibility. If your period is late already a pregnancy test should be accurate at this stage. Take one just to be sure.

I think I will have to wait untill my next one is due.
I have had last months, but It was pretty much nothing, just a kind of spotting.
