Brief Answer:
Delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about delayed periods.

This is not pregnancy. This is just delayed periods due to variations in pill course.

You are likely to get periods within one week of stopping pills. I don't see any reason to worry. You will get periods a bit delayed.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
