Period Late

I am on the pill, Apri. I have been on it for almost two years. I usually get my period three days after I finish taking it for the month. Well I havent gotten it yet and its 5 days afterwards. I also just recently took a anti-bacterial med, Flagyl for two weeks. Im wondering if that could affect either the effectiveness of the pill or my cycle. HELP!!!!!!

I did take a pregnancy test and it was negative. Thank goodness! Im not ready for children. But I still have not gotten my period. One day last week when I was supposed to get my period, I did notice a little bloody discharge but nothing after that. It was once when I went to the bathroom and the rest of the day nothing. I also thought I had cramps for a day but then that went away. So now its 8 Days since I should have gotten my period and nothing?! I called the doctor today and left a message so I'll see what they have to say. I was supposed to take my birth control starting last night again but since I never got my period I didnt start the new pack. Now I'm all messed up and dont know what to do.
Any advice I would appreciate it. I take Apri as birth control. I was taking Flagyl, oral tablets for two weeks for an ongoing yeast infection. I have been working two jobs and been very busy. I know stress can cause periods to go out of wack, but I've been on the pill for two years and never had this happen before!
