Haven't had my period yet

I am 19. I had an ovarian cyst the size of a small watermelon removed in March. When I went back for my check up in April, my doctor put me on Alesse 28. I began taking it exactly as she directed. I have never missed a pill or been late on taking the dosage. I have been taking it for about three months. My periods have always been like clock work. I have never missed a period or had an irregular period. The first month, after a few weeks of being on the pill, I had some spotting for a few days, but my period never came. The second month, I experienced what felt like menstrual cramps but never started my period. I didn't have any spotting or anything that month. I'm almost finished with my third cycle of pills and still have had no signs of my period. I contacted my doctor for a pregnancy test, it came back negative. I just recently began experiencing some irritation and a different smell. I have an appoinment scheduled with my GYN but I can't wait that long to ask. Is it normal for women to experience this while taking Alesse 28? Will not having a period this long harm my body? Also I have noticed an increase in depression and my sex drive has completly vanished. What should I do? Please help : (
