What Causes Delay In Period?

hi doctor, my last day of menstrual period is February 26, I took althea pills on March 12. We had unprotected sex with my boyfriend last March 20 onwards, I am expecting my menstruation on March 23 but until now, it didnt come. I just finish the 21 pill last April 1. should I worry now? Is there a possibility that I am pregnant since I took the pill not on the day of my menstrual period?

Hi, I think you should have started the pills between day 1 to day 5 of your periods. It was very late to start. So, there is a chance of pregnancy. Get a urine pregnancy test done at home to rule out pregnancy.
