Late period, unsure if i should start new birth control pack?

Yes, if no misses: If you took your oral contraceptive everyday at about the same time each day without missing any, then start your new pack of pills. Often the endometrium is kept minimal with the pills and there is very little bleeding. If you missed pills then do a pregnancy test.
