Hello,
It is less likely that Zithromax and Mortin intake will effect your menstrual cycle.
However, stress and infections may delay periods for a few days. It should be always remembered that no means of contraception is 100% effective except removal/block of reproductive organ or gonad.
Apart from that, the pre-ejaculatory fluid may contain few sperms and that is not a reliable method to follow.
In my view, you can take a urine pregnancy test at home or see a doctor and take blood beta HCG, ultrasound to find the out the cause of delayed periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
