Hi,
There is always a small chance you could be pregnant no form of birth control is 100% effective. If you missed a pill or didn't take it at the correct time that will leave you more susceptible to pregnancy.
However, there are many other things that can delay your period. Stress in most cases is the number one reason. Some medications (newly started) can effect your cycle as well.
If you do not want to be pregnant you should get a home pregnancy test or visit your doctor. This will either put your mind at ease or open up the options if need be for termination of the pregnancy.
Best Regards,
