Brief Answer:
Likely due to i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Irregularities in the menstrual periods are common after taking the I pill.
I pill has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by2-3 weeks.
I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative then you can safely wait for next few weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
