"Delayed period?"

It is normal for menstruation to be delayed, even when taking contraceptive pills. Stress, illness, weight loss, or changes in routine can all affect the timing of your period. If you think you might be pregnant, it is important to take a pregnancy test. Otherwise, wait another 1 to 2 weeks for your period to come. If it is further delayed, it is recommended to see a doctor to rule out other possible causes. Remember to continue taking your contraceptive pills as prescribed, even if your period starts during the active pill phase. If you have any concerns about missed pills, speak to your pharmacist for further guidance.
