Can birth control pills delay your period?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Birth control: Birth control pills change when you have your period. There is usually seven pills at the end of each pack during which you have your period.

Period delay: Taking oral contraceptives will not "delay a period" unless one is already taking them regularly, in which case simply do not stop the active pills (do not take the placebos), or, if not taking them regularly, start at the 3rd or 4th day of a "normal period" and just continue with the active pills until the "reason for delay" has passed.
