Took birth control pills, menstrual period delayed

Patient's question:

On October 5th, my period arrived. On the 15th, I took birth control pills. By the 20th, I had my period, but the flow was very light. Today, November 29th, my period hasn't arrived yet. I'm looking for any help: I want to know how it's possible to be pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

You have delayed menstruation. First, consider that it may be caused by oral contraceptives, and second, it may be due to pregnancy.
Suggestions: It is recommended to use a pregnancy test kit or have blood HCG checked at the hospital or undergo a magnetic resonance examination to determine if you are pregnant. If pregnancy is ruled out, then the delay is caused by oral contraceptives. The main side effect of oral contraceptives is menstrual irregularity. You should take timely care of your menstrual cycle. In the future, pay more attention and avoid taking oral contraceptives frequently.
