Hi,

I will that due to intake of ipill has altered your hormonal cycle which has delayed your periods. I would also suggest a thyroid profile test to rule out hypothyroidism. Start taking iron folic acid tablet for two weeks, if your periods don't occur by then start medroxyprogesterone tablet for 5 days.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
