Late period

I've been on the pill for almost 2 years. It evened my periods out to exactly 28 days. After about a year, I noticed that my periods were only lasting 6 days. I was told this is normal.

Last month, I was under an extra amount of stress. My period was a day late (actually only about 12 hours late, but the next day). I didn't think much of it after the stressful month I had had. This month, I started two days late. I'm curious, should I take a pregnancy test? Someone at my job (I'm new there and am not sure whose opinion I should trust yet) told me that some women still bleed but it isn't really a period and they are actually pregnant. After being on the pill for so long, is it unusual that I started late two months in a row?

Thanks!!!
