Delayed Periods. Sexually Active And On Low Dose Birth Control Pills. Could This Be Possible Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm 18 years old and my period is two and a half weeks late. Last month I drank lemon juice on the first day of my period because I heard it would make your period lighter, and my period completely went away and hasn't come back since. I'm on a low-dose birth control and am pretty good about taking it, but might have missed a day. I'm very sexually active. Could I possibly be pregnant, or is my missed period related to the lemon juice?

Hello,
The most common cause for delay in your periods is pregnancy however there can be various other reasons for delay in oeriods like stress,anxiety,change of working schedule,some illness,overactivity and under activity,gain or loss of weight etc.
Lemon juice doesn't result in delay of periods.
Get the pregnancy test done to confirm the pregnancy and then act accordingly.
Thanks
