Brief Answer:
Side effect of i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or due to the effect of I pill which is known to delay the next expected periods by2-3 weeks.
I will suggest you to get an urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then you can safely wait for the periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
