How late are you? Have you taken any other medications like antibiotics? Thrown up? Medications or thowing up can change your hormone levels and allow you to get pregnant even though you are on the pill.
If it's been less than 10 days since your period was supposed to start, just chill, you aren't considered officially late. if it's been more than 10 days, then you may be pregnant. Most doctors won't see you until you miss 2-3 periods. You may want to call your GYN to get their advice/policy. You can ask them to order a blood test, that would give the most accurate result. Otherwise, if your period is still M.I.A. this time next week, take another home pregnancy test.

Both-I find when I am stressed or lose weight, my period is delayed a week or more (I am very regular). I also know stressed people whose periods get very irregular and can be missed. I would have a test at the Dr's just to make sure, tho.

Even taking it as prescribed it is not 100% effective.
You could be stressed or you could be pregnant.
