Where's my period??

I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic since it has to do with birth control, but it has to do with my period too :)

I have been taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for a few months. This month I couldn't start the pack on sunday because I didn't get to come home until monday, so on monday I took sunday's pill along with mondays. Then on the next saturday, i forgot my pill, so I just took the rest as usual. I had some spotting for a few days, but it went away.
I've been on the placebo week since sunday, but I still haven't gotten my period yet :( I'm worried, could I have messed up my cycle?

thanks alot for any advice :)

I'm on Ortho as well, and even when I take it regularly (Sunday start), I don't usually start bleeding until Wednesday; if I've been taking them at night or if I took the last ones late, sometimes not til Thursday. I would just relax if I were you. :)

Thanks so much for commenting so quickly :) I'm just a nervous person in general, and I've always gotten my period on the wednesday morning of taking the placebos....and now its wednesday afternoon...I do feel headachey and the way I normally do before my period, so I'm sure it's alright..
