Brief Answer:
Rule out pregnancy first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
It is common to experience delayed menses post ipill intake for next 2-3 months. This is a common side effect of the pill. As you have missed your menses by more than 10 days, so please rule out pregnancy first and if the test is negative then you may opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterones.
Please get a urine pregnancy test done first and follow up.
Regards
