What Causes Delayed Periods While On Contraceptive Pill?

Hello, i was taking the contraceptive pill that was prescribed to me, i have been sick lately with an infection in my foot so i didnt bother to take my pill as i was on antibiotics. I have not got my period since October 18th, i have taken a pregnancy test which has been negative so i really dont know what to do. I am really worried incase the contraception i have been taking the last few years has caused me to have irregular periods and maybe even infertility? I hope ye can help. Thanks so much in advance.

Thank you for asking the question .
You are on pills, but you had stopped it because you had started antibiotics. So once you stop pills period become irregular but few months later it again become regular. If you stop the pill and then try for pregnancy you will become pregnant if any factor other then pill is not affecting it.
Hope this will helpful to you.
