If your previous periods cycles were regular and you have missed your periods, then you can test for pregnancy as protection in the form of condoms (if that is the scenario in your case) can have failure.
If it is negative then you can get a prescription for the medicine for the periods to come.
The delay could be due to a delay in ovulation which can be due to other reasons like intake of I pill, hormonal imbalance, stress etc.
If your cycle was irregular or remains irregular then you can consult a gynecologist for further evaluation.
