Taking pill: If you are already taking your birth control pill you will have your periods usually every 28 days and you will not be late.If you do not get your period see your gynecologist, there may be hormonal problem or an outside chance that you are pregnant.

Yes: If your period was normally regular, and now it is late, make sure that you check a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, then you are likely not ovulating regularly, and yes, your next cycle will seem to be delayed as well. This is a great reason to visit your ob/gyn and discuss causes and treatments for irregular cycles!
