Hello,
Yes your contraceptive pills may delay your periods and extended use can cause a missed period because pills make your endometrium thinner and your endometrium becomes unable to generate any bleeding, and it's fairly common to skip a period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
