Why Are My Periods Late After Taking Birth Control Pills?
Hi, I started my pill a few days after my period had ended which means I started it late. I then continued to take it for the first two days that my period was due but I didn’t even realise. My period is now 6 days late is this the reason why? We have been really careful this month.

Hello,
The delay in periods after taking the pills can be due to a post-pill amenorrhea. This is a normal side effect of these pills. The periods will resume on their own. No need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
