I had sex 12 days before my periods and took the pill the next morning. When I was supposed to have my periods I only had cramps and no sign of my periods. I am three days late. Could I be pregnant or its the pill's side effects?..#worried

Hi Ruth,

It's likely a side effect of the pill. Late periods are VERY common.

Hope it helps.
