2 Green pills left but no period

I'm currently on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and have been for almost a year. I usually start my period between the second and fourth green pick in my packet. Last week, I had all the signs/symptoms that my period was coming, ie. tender breasts, break outs, etc.

I have two green pills left, one for Friday and one for Saturday, then I will start my new packet on Sunday. I'm worried since I haven't started my period yet and I took my 5th green pill this morning.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions...

When I was on the pill, many times I would not have a period on my placebo pills, I was told this was not unusual. Sometimes there just isn't anything to shed. If you are worried you can always take a HPT just to make sure.
