Do you think worrying about your period coming on late actually makes it late?

well here goes.. ive had my period for 5 years now, i was quite average i think, started at 12 and im now 16 well anyway. at first they were a little out of place as they are.. but over the past 2 years or so, id say they have being pretty much in a routine, wel for the past 18 months ive got it on the 18th-19th of every month! i still havnt got it, and its 23rd! i was kind of hoping it could be late, because i was going to a party last night and bought myself a really nice pair of white jeans so friday afternoon i was gettin ready, quite happy becaus although it was 22nd and i should be on, i wasnt so i could wear my white trousers with confidence lol... anyway its kinda botherin me now, because its 4 days late! and i dont normally come on late. do you think worrying about comin on has made it late? can your period be late or not come if you worry so much about not wantin it to come :S im so confused! one thing i will say is i arnt pregnant, me and my boyfriend did loose our virginities last month but we used condoms and ive been on the pill for 2 years anyway. does anyone know what this reason could be? thanks!'0x
