Hello dear
Understand your concern
Do not worry. Pregnancy is not possible of you are on the contraceptive pill.
But it should be taken regularly without the missing of any pill. It is very effective in preventing pregnancy as failure rate is around 0.5-1 %.
But if period will delay by the 7-9 days then go for pregnancy kit to diagnose the pregnancy as no contraception is 100 percent successful.
So if you took the pill regular without the missing then chance of pregnancy is less and your period will come in ext few days.
Hope this may help you
