Hi , I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Adderall does not leads to alteration in the menstrual cycle. Unprotected intercourse can lead to pregnancy. Sometimes, the ovulation is delayed and hence the conception of pregnancy is delayed. In this situation, the urine pregnancy test comes positive a bit delayed.
Delayed periods can also be due to stress, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done, if negative then do consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
