Brief Answer:
Stop taking I-Pill for few months. Do some investigations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) Irregular or excessive intake of I-pill make period irregular and delayed due to hormonal imbalance. You should stop taking those pills for at least 3 months.

2) I suggest you to undergo one ultrasound scan and complete hormone profile to rule out underlying pelvic pathology if any. After that, combined hormonal pill or progesterone pill like Meprate can be given to induce period if period doesn't occur naturally. Kindly, consult with local gynecologist for proper guidance.

3) You should use REGULAR contraceptive pill from next cycle if you want to involve in sex frequently. It will help to regularize your cycle and give highest protection after 1-month used.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
