General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
If there is no discharge and you are sure about it and still took the pill then in my opinion you do not need to worry about it as a normal cycle can be anywhere between 21-35 days (i.e. days between the first day of your period to the first day of next period on an average is between 21-35 days)
Tension and emotional disturbance can also cause cyclical changes. So relax, and wait.
I would be happy to answer any further queries. Kindly rate the answer :)
