What Causes Delay In Period Despite Being On Birth Control Pills?
I have taken all my birth control pills and have not missed any. I may have taken them in the evening sometimes instead of the am, but I have never missed any pills. I always start on the 4th day of the 4th week of placebo pills, but I have not yet started. I'm due to start a new pack Sunday, and I was wondering if I should go ahead and start them

Hello
How are you?
Welcome to Healthcare magic.
Sometimes on birth control pills may alter the date of cycle. Periods may also delay. Role of pills is to prevent ovulation so you should take the pill at same time a day.
Start new pack of pills and it will become regular do don't worry and take care.
