Late on Birth Control

So I've been on birth control for about 3 or so months. I take the pill on a regular basis(sometimes a few hours early or late) And I honestly have a missed a couple but I always take them the next day, I am sexually active but he has been wearing a condom. I've never been late since I've been on birth control. Is there any way im pregnant, or am I  late?

Because you doubled up on contraception, it's more likely that you're just late. Spotting in between cycle can easily be from stress, not taking the birth control correctly, or stopping mid cycle. If you've missed a couple pills your birth control probably isn't very effective and could be causing your period issues. However, using condoms on top of this means you're probably not pregnant. Nothing is 100%, but two combined make it pretty close. Wait for a day or two and if your period doesn't come, then take a pregnancy test with your first morning urine. However, for now do your best not to worry.
