Brief Answer:
Delay can be due to unwanted 72 pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The delay in periods can be due to unwanted 72 pill. Since the periods are already delayed by 15 days you can take hormonal pills to get a withdrawal bleeding after consulting your gynecologist.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
