Hi.

the pill you took itself can result in menstrual irregularities causing a delay in your period. but as you were experiencing a delay even before taking the pill I would recommend going about a home pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample. You may also want to repeat this test 2-3 times with a 2-3 day gap between each test just for more accurate results.

Best wishes.
