Birth control pills

I have been on my bc pills and i have been keeping up with them pretty well.  but on the 21st of november i had sex and now i should be getting my period (i started the placebo pills yesterday) and i havent gotten it yet.  my periods always come on the first day of the pills, except now.  im really paranoid that im pregnant because although i was taking the pills everyday, i wasnt taking them at the same time everyday.  i have slight cramping and i feel kinda bloated, but those can also be signs of pregnancy, so i have no idea what to do.  i have no money right now for an hpt becasue im in Holland for another 2 weeks visiting a friend.  i need help!

You sometimes will not always start your period the same day even on bc pills. I normally always get mine on the 6th white pill, but last period started on the 7th white pill, and I was told it was normal. I agree with the other poster, if no period by the time you go home then I would get a pregnancy test then.

If you havent started your period when you get back home in two weeks, then buy a test.  Dont stress out too much.  That could be why you are late.  Good luck.
