Hi,

If you took the pregnancy test recently (last couple of days) and it was negative then very likely you are not pregnant. It may be in this case that your periods are delayed due to start of the oral contraception.

On the other hand I would like to just mention that no contraceptive method is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy so risk of pregnancy even though low is present with all contraceptive methods (condoms and oral pills as well).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
