Q: delayed period

Hey everyone,
I am 23 and engaged and I have been on ortho tri cyclen for about 6 years. I was shocked this week when my period started two days later than normal. Should i be concerned? I am just confused bc that has never happened before and it actually is the normal flow it usually is. I would like to hear some suggestions on what it could be.. Should i pick up a test and just check out? I would be thrilled if we are expecting, but i would also be happy if we can wait another year or so! Has anyone had this happen before??

There is nothing to worry about if the expected period was delayed for 2 days. It is important that the expected period still came and that is an indication that probably there isn't pregnancy. You can make a pregnancy test for sure.
