Brief Answer:
Period delayed due to contraceptive only.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Yes, your cycles are delayed and messed up because of the contraceptive pill that you took in January .
There is no chance of pregnancy, since your pregnancy test was negative inspite of being 12 days late.
Wait for a few days, if you do not get your period by then, then please get an ultrasound scan done to know the status of the lining of the uterus, so that proper hormones can be taken to jumpstart your period.
All the best
