Loestrin 24 fe and periods

I just started taking Loestrin and am new to the pill. I just ended my second month and I start my new pack today. But I haven't started my period. I've read on some of the message boards that it usually takes 2-5 days to start your period after starting the "reminder" pills. The first month I was on the pill, I started within the "reminder" pills and it all went well. But I'm worried about this month. Is it just that my body is adjusting to the pills? Should I keep going with starting the new pack and wait for my period? Or stop taking them until my period arives and then start the new pack? Help!

I was reading on another website's message board about Loestrin that with this pill in partciular some women skip periods entirely. If you skip your period again next cycle you might talk to your doc.
