As you mentioned that you took two minigynon out of 21 , so this is absolutely useless for any prevention of pregnancy , however delay in period may be due to these hormonal tablets . Now about the chance of pregnancy , as you clearly mention that your period was due just after 7 days ( one week).
In normal circumstances OVULATION occurs on 14th 15th days of period .
In your case according to your history in query you had sex on or after 21st day of menstrual cycle , so there is remote chance of any pregnancy.
So delay in period may be due to tables .
Since you are 7 days late for period , so get in home pregnancy test for confirmation and relaxation.
