Answers:

I wouldn't freak out yet. If you are keeping track and you are regular then your period should come in the same amount of days each month give or take a couple. There are other factors that can change your cycle, i.e. stress so I would wait until you are at least a week late before running out and forking over money for a test. Oh, and unless you are trying to get pregnant, birth control is ALOT cheaper than health insurance. Sorry about the preaching, I'm a mom.
