On Birth Control And Using Condom

I'm 16 and on Lo Loestrogen FE, I've been on it for probably 9-10 months. My period is always irregular, and last month I had it 10 days early for about 1-3 days and then nothing on the sugar pill days. Now, the following month, my period is currently 2 days late and I'm freaking out. My boyfriend always uses condoms and we check them before throwing out so I know they have never broken. I have bad anxiety and during my last period I was writing 10 IB (very advanced) exams, making me extremely stressed, and the first two days I've expected this period I was on a cadet training weekend which is waking up at 6am and a much much different schedule. I've read these are both things that could mess me up? I have no pregnancy symptoms and have freaked myself out over pregnancy 2-3 times before this. Should I be freaking out?

No you should not freak out when I was younger,19 I went through this very similar situation. You are stressing your body and mind and stress will affect your menstrual cycle, the more you stress about possible pregnancy it's adding stress to your body. If pregnancy is a big scare for you which I agree you are very young and have your whole life ahead of you try adding additional protection, there are condoms for women and other additional preventatives that can be jointly used with condoms for men and birth control, in addition it won't hurt to keep pregnancy test on hand but the more stress it will affect your body.
