Hello,
No any contraceptive gives 100% protection. So in case of delayed period, I would suggest you to do urine pregnancy test. This should be confirmed with obstetric ultrasound and beta hcg levels after gynaecologist consultation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
