Hello,

Oral contraceptives are not 100% effective, if you take OCP's still there are fewer chances of getting pregnant. I suggest you wait till your periods, even if it delays wait for a week's time if it still wouldn't come then go for a pregnancy test.

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

Regards,
