I would see a doctor while it is highly likely that you are pregnant there are certain health conditions other than pregnancy that could cause you to miss your period.
P.S. I have a beautiful 7yr old who is living proof that those tests are not always right

It's not "normal" to miss 3 periods unless you're pregnant. However, there are many other conditions other than pregnancy that can cause missed periods. I have one of them, it's called PCOS. You should see your doctor and have them run a simple blood test to make certain you are not pregnant.... The fact that you had 6 regular periods and then suddenly stopped is the main concern. A lot of times when someone goes off the pill it takes a while for cycles to return. But to be regular and then have them stop.... You'd better get to a doctor! :) Best of luck!

could be many things. You should really see your doctor and have a couple of simple tests ran. When was the last time you had a pap test? You should be having those yearly if you are sexually active until your in your 30's, then you only need them every couple of years. A pap test can detect a lot of things. But if you see your doctor they will also check to make sure your not pregnant, don't have any cervical or ovary issues and check your hormone levels. Its not normal, so you should be seeing your doctor. You really don't want to postpone dealing with problems of your "female" organs, because it can cause more problems for you in the long run. Good luck.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Find a Free Testing Center or Order my pregnancy test
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
