HI,
You were taking cyclical contraception & stopped taking the pills after 3rd of August ( which was last day of your periods.) Bleeding while taking contraceptives is possible with Progesteron only pills.which have a side effect of irregular bleeding.
Return of fertility after withdrawal takes 4-6 months in case of Progesteron only pills. I think that,s why your periods are delayed this month.
Still you should get urine pregnancy test done after 8 days delay in expected day of period.
I would like to clear one more misconception.Emergency contraceptives ( plan B contraceptive)are high dose hormones which are taken within72 hours of unprotected sex.. to avoid pregnancy.
Thanks.
