Hello,
The unwanted 21 days pill can delay the periods. Since the pill works by introducing different hormones into your system, it can affect your menstrual cycle. Some women may have lighter bleeding, and others may skip their periods entirely. You should not be worried.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
