My period is missing for two days...
Hello.. I started taking the birth control pill on my first day of period 2 months ago. I only stopped the bleeding when my second period came after the first 21 pills and the 7 days of "week-off". Then I took the 21 pills and had sex always with a condom. I missed the pill one day and had sex next day and I am not sure if the condom broke or something. Now it's my week-off but my body is not showing any kind of symptoms of period. Also I have started some antipsychotic pills and anti-epileptical pills (the last ones reduce the effectiveness of the birth control but I only started two days ago.. The antipsychotics I don't know if they interfere with birth control). My period is missing for 2 days now... I am probably going to mark an appointment with my gyno at least to change to a better birth control technique which is not less effective with the other pills I'm taking. Anyways.. Could I be pregnant?

Re: My period is missing for two days...
A late period is a period that has not shown up when it's been five or more days later than the LATEST you'd expect it. With both menstrual periods and withdrawal bleeds, there is a standard deviation for even the most regular of cycles between 2 and 3 days, so you're not at a late period/bleed yet.
