Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by2-3 weeks due to its hormonal effect.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
