Brief Answer:
Get your home urine pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
The period usually delayed by i-pill for 7-14 days.
As you are 40 days late by your expected period date,you should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy first.
If test results are negative ( the chances are more)than wait and watch for your period 10-14 days more.

Good luck.
