What to do if i know stress delays your period but is that still a factor when i'm on birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stress may increase you metabolism which may lead into breaking down the pill faster, so if there was some effect, it would be abnormal spotting in between the cycles not a delay in the period.
