Basically I am wondering if I should see my doctor or not?

Problem: Late periods.

Ever since I started as a teenager I missed one then and was late by a few days 2 or 3 times. My cycle normally runs every 30-34 days. Sometimes a little sooner. I went on birth control a over a year ago, stayed on it for several months and have been off of it for almost a year now. I didn't have any problems until recently. Two months ago I was a little over a week late on my period, I did start but the day before I did I was looking at pregnancy tests. (side note: we use condoms every time and stop if it even feels like it is slipping or breaking) Then last month I was a little over two weeks late, terrified I was pregnany, had cramps the whole week before, took a pregnancy test, it was negative and started the next day. Usually I only have bad cramps the day before, it's how I know I am going to start, and the first few days. This month it's been two weeks again, bad cramps off and on through out the last few days, and I am probably going to buy a pregnancy test tonight just to make myself feel better. I am 95% positive I am not pregnant but I know it will ease a bit of my worry to know that isn't the case. Whether it is positive or negative I feel like I should still visit my doctor.

Does anyone know what might be wrong with me? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any tips for things I could do or try?

Oh and I've been wanting to go back on the ring but was waiting for insurance to go through. Now that I getting it, I am waiting for a period so I can use it. Should I consult my doctor about this first as well? That's my other problem, I don't have my insurance card yet but I do have my prescription card. Does it still work and can I use it to see my doctor? Should I consult my doctor about this first as well?

I keep thinking of things to add: my nipples have been extremely tender and even hurt if touched or played with, this has caused me to not have any sexual contact with my fiance even though the desire is there. Although until I figure out what is wrong I probably shouldn't be having sex.
