Hello,
After missing a pill, it takes 2 weeks for the pill to again begin contraceptive action. Since you missed the pill and had unprotected intercourse possibility of pregnancy is high, especially with delayed periods. I recommend that you take a home pregnancy test. If positive, discontinue contraceptive pill and follow-up with a gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
