Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
If you have not had unprotected sex or sex within this last cycle you have nothing to worry about. If you have then wait ten more days and test again.
If you have had protected sex and are on birth control the possibility you are stressed out over the possibility you are pregnant. Stress will cause most women to miss their periods. Stress is the leading cause, ahead of pregnancy for missing a period. Other things that can cause a missed period are illness, antibiotics and certain OTC medications.
You have not said how old you are. If I were to guess I would say you are in your teens and still living at home. If you are over 14 you can without parental knowledge or permission go to any doctor or women's clinic and have a medical pregnancy test done. The visit, the test and the results of the test are all confidential and only you can be knowledgeable of them. under a federal law called HIPPA. Just advise the doctor or clinic you wish to be seen under the HIPPA law.
NO one can see the results or know why you saw the doctor without your expressed permission to the doctor in writing. This includes your parents. Should you be pregnant, which I do not believe you are, your parents cannot tell you what to do about the pregnancy. Meaning they cannot force an abortion on you or keep you from getting one. They cannot force you to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. These are some of the protections under the HIPPA law.
If you are not pregnant talk to the doctor about birth control. This is also a protected right under HIPPA.
