can someone just miss their period one month because of birth control?

I know I'm overreacting and everything but yeah. I was supposed to get my period today (since I started taking the pill I've gotten my period on wednesday every time.) yes, I know its still Wednesday but normally I get it in the morning.

Its weird, I have no idea why I'm so worried I'm pregnant since I've taken my pill every day at around the same time. I never forget it.

I probably should wait til later on in the week to post this but yeah. I would appreciate if someone could tell me whether or not its possible.

I'm pretty sure its normal.

Why have my periods stopped?
It is not uncommon for women who use the birth control pill to miss a period, especially for those taking progestin-only pills. If you have taken all of your pills, then there is a minimal risk of being pregnant, although it is still a good idea to take a pregnancy test to make sure. If you have missed a pill or missed two periods in a row, then there is a greater chance that you could be pregnant. Again, take a pregnancy test to confirm whether or not you’re pregnant. These can be purchased in the store or you can make an appointment with your doctor or pregnancy resource center.

Women using Depo-Provera are much more likely to have their periods stop. In fact, half of all women using this form of birth control stop getting their periods during the first year of use. Additionally, common side effects of Depo-Provera include weight gain, tender breasts and mild headaches, although these will disappear over time. Since these are also common pregnancy symptoms, it can be confusing for Depo-Provera users. If you think you might be pregnant, though, it doesn’t hurt to take a pregnancy test.

Even if you have gone off Depo-Provera or some other form of hormonal contraceptive, it can still take as long as a year before your periods return and are normal again.

I am using the combination birth control pill and didn’t get my period this month. How can I tell if I’m pregnant?
It is not unusual for combination pill users to miss a period. However, if you think there is a chance that you might be pregnant, then buy a home pregnancy test or make an appointment with your health care provider or pregnancy resource center for a pregnancy test after you miss your period.
