Q: missed period after medication

I broke my arm 3 days before my period was supposed to start. Because of that I've been on a lot of medication - I was on vicodin for a little bit and now I'm taking a lot of ibuprofin. My period is off by a little over a week. I heard that sickness can make you miss a period, but is a broken bone included in that? I also heard that taking a lot of medication can also make you miss your period, but does that include advil? I highly doubt that I am pregnant, I've never had sex but have only "fooled around" with my boyfriend, about a month ago.
Please help I'm very concerned!

If you haven't had sex, I wouldn't be concerned. If you are still young, its probably because of that. Periods can be totally out of whack when you are younger. Same with if you are really athletic. Are you stressed? It could be from that. I definitely wouldn't worry about pregnancy. Your period will come.

Yeah I'm 18 but I've never had a problem with my period like this before, is it probably the broken bone and medication?

If you've never had sex it is impossible for you to be pregnant. Sometimes periods are just weird...
