Can sex delay your period?

Niamh

I am on the contraceptive (combined) pill and i always get it on the same day, a Thursday, after i’ve stopped taking my pill for the 7 days break. Last night (Wednesday), I had a few light blood marks when i wiped after having a wee so I knew it was beginning to start, but my boyfriend and I had sex a few times and nothing more has come of my period. Does sex delay your period slightly?
