First note:
how did you take your OCP pills isnt clear to us , we are not quite sure if you took it in the right way , but :
- if you took it in the right way : you are not likely to be pregnancy , and period delay is due to using OCP it self
- here is the right way of taking OCP :
1. consult an OBGYN doctor to choose the best medication for you
2. OCP medication used by the first day of period , and its usually should be used for first 21 days of your period or as instructions
3. you should take the pill in the same time every day
- in case of forgeting 1 dose , take it as soon as possible , unless its almost the next dose time , then take double dose
Possible causes of delayed period :
1. pregnancy ( if you sexually active )
