Ive been having my period since i was 10 and I'm on the pill so im never late. I'm a virgin. I'm 4 days late and i dont know why. All the females in my family struggle to have kids and my older sister hasnt had her period in 2 years. I'm just really scared there is a problem. I also dont wanna tell my mom because she'll think im pregnant and probably wont believe me that I'm a virgin but i dont wanna lke and say i do have it and then there's actually something wrong.
Ive been out of breath constantly lately and have had headaches, tiredness and dizziness if that could do with anything. Please help im really stressed

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
If your a virgin and on birth control it is impossible to be pregnant. Because a women's body has many different functions it is more finely tuned then a mans. The fact that you been out of breath constantly lately and have had headaches, tiredness and dizziness are most likely the cause of your period being late. If you are taking any medications, even over the counter medications, these can upset the balance your body needs to menstruate.
The headaches, tiredness and dizziness you are experiencing are not normal signs of pregnancy. They are signs that something is seriously in need of a doctors attention. Given the fact that your period is late; if your mom won't take you to the doctor for the symptoms you have without telling her your period is late. Because you are over 14 years of age you can make an appointment to see your GYN yourself.
A federal law called HIPPA allows anyone over the age of 14 total confidentiality over their reproductive system. This means you can make doctors appoints to see any doctor concerning you reproductive system without parental permission. You parents will never know why you were there, what the doctor examined you for or what the diagnoses is. The doctor or anyone in his office can go to jail for releasing this information without your written consent.
If mom were to accompany you to a doctors visit and a female examination was to take place mom has to wait outside the exam room unless you consent to her being there. You can not be coerced into allowing her to stay either. A parent cannot force a female over the age of 14 to have a female examination either for the purposes of finding out if she is a virgin which the doctor can only say if her Hymen is in-tact.
My suggestion is you see a doctor for the symptoms you are suffering which most likely are the cause of your late period.

There is no way you can be pregnant if not engaging in sex and on the pill. I don't know if your Mom is the kind of person who can't even say the word sex or not, only you do. If she is not like that, then how did you get on the pills and why? Was it for heavy bleeding in periods? That is the only reason I know of. Is Mom aware of this, and set appointment for you? If this is all a secret to her, then yes...hearing you are on the pill, she may jump to the conclusion that you are sexually active. But if she does know about you on the pill for medical reasons, then you should be able to tell her whats going on. You really need to see a doctor I don't know how long you've been on the pill but some women have side effects to some forms of birth control. I had not heard of 'out of breath' as a symptom of taking the pill.
What I found is scary enough that you better tell Mom no matter how she reacts because if the pill has caused the same condition in your lungs along with the fatigue that this other woman got, doctors discovered she had blood clotting in the lungs. She could have died if she hadn't gone in. Blood clots are very serious and can be deadly. Sorry, don't mean to scare you and hopefully its nothing like that but read this article, show it to Mom if you have to. If she won't take you to emergency right away, ask someone else or just call the medics to take you. Here's the article:
