Missed period but negative pregnancytest

I've been on the pill since I was 16. I'm 23 now. I was originally put on it because I was very irregular, only getting my periods like every 4 months and they determined me to be anemic. I had gotten my period after months and the bleeding was horrible and wouldn't stop. I literally had to change my pad every 30 minutes. So I've been on the pill since. Usually when it's time to start my period I stop taking the pills and it always takes two days for it to start. I took my last pill Sunday and it is now Saturday and I have had no period. My pregnancy test was negative and I'm supposed to start my pill again on Monday. So does that mean I'm just not going to have a period until another 3 weeks??? This has never happened before.

Once I'd been on the pill for @ 4 to 5 years if I was stressed out or upset (ex: Christmas/New Year's) I would skip a month. If you are really worried though I would go see your OB. Usually (actually always) it was nothing but nerves. After several years your body just doesn't bleed every month.
I'd try not to worry.
