Hello
Thanks for your query.
The I pill definitely can delay or prepone the period by a week or more.
It is hence not recommended for use frequently.
Other causes of a skipped period are -
Anxiety, stress, travelling, exercise, lack of sleep.
Polycystic ovaries, thyroid dysfunction etc need to be looked into.
If you are sexually active, a pregnancy test is in order, even if intercourse was protected.
Take care.
