Hello,
First of all, you will need a pregnancy test to make sure if the delay is due to a possible pregnancy or not. If the pregnancy test is negative then the delay is due to the pill, it is a common side effect of them to cause irregular menstruation after use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
