Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
delayed periods could be related to getting pregnant if you miss one or more pill. very light bleeding could be implantation bleeding
You should do a pregnancy test done to confirm that you are pregnant or not. Pregnancy test could be easily done at home too. Get a pregnancy kit from market. Follow instructions on pack. Presence of 2 lines on test kit after addition of urine means you are pregnant.


Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information help
