Hello,
Not getting a pregnancy test in spite of being sexually active is extremely irresponsible. You said that you have no symptoms of pregnancy but it is always good to be sure. Since it has been three months over your period I would advise you to get a pregnancy test done immediately. If that is ruled out get a USG abdomen done and also a thyroid profile as PCOD and thyroid disorders can also lead to amenorrhea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
