You can take a pregnancy test if you've been sexually active just for reassurance. Stress can throw off the menstrual cycle, and you mention that has been a part of your life as of late.

Not having periods is a side effect of the pill, as the patient insert says. Many find this a welcome side effect.

Hope this helps. Robin
