Hello,

Starting or stopping of birth control pills can cause delayed periods. You already had a breakthrough bleed so next period will be delayed slightly.
If you are worried, you can go for a urine pregnancy test for reassurance.

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