That can be normal. My periods were always erratic when I was on the mini pill. I would test, just to be safe though. I got pregnant with my current baby while on the mini pill.

It took my period a full month to return after a years worth of breastfeeding. Then I became pregnant about 6 months after that and for that 6 months I had very erratic periods. I had 2 in one month at one pt and then I missed one altogether and then it came again after 1 month and then I became pregnant
I think its totally normal

After ending BEing with my middle kid in July, I didn't get a period until September.

Just found out I'm pregnant & was on the Mini-pill. So, I would test , just to make sure.

That can be a side effect of the mini pill. I took it til I had problems with spotting when DD was weaning and changed pills. If you are concerned, you can test and/or talk to your doctor.
