What Causes A Delayed Period While On Contraceptive Pills?

Hello,
I'm 22 years old and I've been taking the Contraceptive Pill "Dianette" for 4 years now. I recently stopped taking it over 3 months ago, but haven't had a period yet.. My spots and dark body hair has returned and I have had minor cramps now and again this last month. It feels as though I'm about to start a period but I've seen nothing yet!
I wanted to start my pill again, but I'm fed up of waiting! I was wondering if it was safe to start up again without having a period?

Kind regards
Emma
