If : If you are taking your pill every day around the same time every day, then you have about a 99% chance that you are not pregnant. There are other reasons besides pregnancy that can cause a woman to miss a period such as: stress, diet, excessive exercise or a hormone imbalance such as with a thyroid disorder or poly cystic ovarian syndrome. If you continue to not have your period or if they become consistently irregular, you should contact your doctor.

Risk: It sounds like you use oral contraception but we don't know what your compliance is. If you use it consistently and correctly it is quite protective against pregnancy. You would benefit from take a home pregnancy test.
