I've been on my pill which is a combined pill called Femodette for about 5 months now. Last month i skipped my week break and therefore skipped my period as i didn't want my period during exams. Now when i have come off my pill for my 7 day break, my period is a day late. When it usually comes exactly at the same time on the 3rd day of not taking pills. I've taken my pills perfectly - i'm very careful, and i have only had sex once during the now almost 2 months.
Would my period be a bit late due to the fact i took a pack back to back, and skipped my period on purpose?

It was with doctors consent... in fact i was advised to skip it, i was quite paranoid about it but i was assured it would be okay.

By skipping the week last month you have changed very slightly the hormone levels in your body. I would not be concerned about a period a day late. And it is perfectly fine to skip two periods if you want- you are not doing anything harmful to your body. The is even a pill pack designed that way so that you only have 4 periods per year.

Actually if you skipped your week break, you have NOT been taking them perfectly.
Your system will be screwed up for a while till you get regulated again since you skipped the break.
Edit: Glad to hear you got permission :) But skipping that break is why you aren't on schedule at the moment, give it time to regulate :)
