I was supposed to get my period 4 days ago but it hasn't come. I want to start birth control pills and was told to start on the first day of my period. Since my period is delayed, the doctor said I can start the pill now and skip this period as I will be traveling in 5 days and do not want to have my period then. I took the first pill yesterday. Should I stop taking the pill or continue? Will my period still come since I started the pill just before getting my period?

I have taken two home pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. What could be causing these symptoms if I'm not pregnant?
