On BCP but no period this month...

I am on Ortho Novum 7/7/7. I take my last pill on Saturday and my period normally starts by Monday or Tuesday every month like clockwork. I get cramps and boobs hurt also. This month, I almost forgot I was supposed to even be getting my period because I was having no PMS or anything. I spotted a little brown on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nothing major, just a little on the toilet paper when I wiped. There have been times when I was a day or two late but my period always came red and in full force. It's now Friday afternoon and I have not had one drop of red discharge this entire time. I am cramping but there is nothing coming out. I will take a test before Sunday (before I start my next pill pack) but I was wondering what my chances were given the above. Like I said, this NEVER happens and I have been on the same pill for abot 8 years. Please let me know if you know anyone or have had experience with this!

As long as you have taken your pill correctly and haven't been on any antibotics you should be fine.
