Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Though you have started the pills late, and there is a chance to have pregnancy, though the chance is little but still if you are late, I would advise to get a pregnancy test done. Generally the pills needs to be started on the second day of periods to be effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
