What Causes Delay In Periods While On Tri-Cyclen Pills?

My period is 4 days late. I am on a new tricylen birth control( just last month) and I always get my period either right when I start my placebo pills(28 pack) or the day after. I would not be usually worried as I always take my birth control on time, but I have been on antiobiotics for 9 days now and had unprotected sex not long ago... should I get a pregnancy test now or wait a few days since I m only 4 days late...

Hi,

You should take a pregnancy home test at least 5 days of delayed period.

So wait for some days and take it.

Otherwise the delay may be due to hormone changes by changing contraception method.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
