Hi,
Slight menstrual irregularities, including delayed period can happen after using birth control pills, especially on the initial days of usage.
It will settle by itself in a couple of months and it doesn’t indicate that you are pregnant.
You can go for a urine pregnancy test just for reassurance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
