Q: period not on time

I don't know much about any of this, but I'm really worried and need to know if I am pregnant.

I'm on the pill and have been on it for 3 years because of some hormonal imblances. But just this month I have been experiencing some of the signs of pregnancy. And now today I am scheduled to get my period and it always comes on time and it hasn't come. So I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Can someone please explain? My friend said maybe its because I'm stressed out.

Not to worry. If you've been taking your birth control regularly, there is less than a 3% chance that you are pregnant. Wait for a few more days and if you're period doesn't arrive, try another pregnancy test.

You period isnt "scheduled" to come the same day everrry month every time. Wait and within this week if you still have yet to get it then test. Stress can most definetly throw off or delete your period.
