What Causes Delayed Period While On Contraceptive Pills?

Hi , I am on the pill but I forgot it for 2-3days so I took the number I missed and continued to finish the days but I got paranoid and took the morning after pill and now my period is delayed do I have to wait for my period to start the pill again or can I continue with it and wait for my period ?

Hi

Kindly take a urine pregnancy test by 10 days of missed period.

If the test is negative,wait for a week or maximum 10 days for your periods to return.Then start the drug course again.

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

Regards
