Hi, thanks for your question. The issue of missed period has been addressed on the main pages, here's the link:

As you have just started the pill a few months ago, it's possible that the hormonal changes in your body are playing tricks with your menstruation. If you have taken the pill regularly without missing any, it's very unlikely that you are pregnant. I recommend that you take a home pregnancy test to be sure.
