Can be due to stress .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
If you have taken your birth control pills regularly without missing any pills then you are safe and protected against pregnancy . The delay in period can be due to stress or post pill amenorrhoea. You can start with the next pack after the sugar pills finish .

I hope this answers your query.
