I started the pill the same day my period was due, should I have started my period?

I just started taking the pill on the 17th, but I started the same day my period was due. I meant to start it on a Sunday, however, but forgot, so I started by taking the first two pills. I was meant to start my period that same day but it's now the 21st and I still haven't. However, I did experience the usual PMS (acne, depression, and fatigue) I almost always get about a week before my period starts around the 10th. I assumed my period would have started that same day (17th) anyway but it didn't, so by starting the pill when I did, when should I expect my period? And (dumb question), without getting into detail I'm not comfortable enough sharing, is it more likely that I'm pregnant from sort-of-but-not-really vaginal contact with pre-ejaculate, or that my period is simply late/impacted by starting the pill.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that the sort-of-but-not-really vaginal contact with the pre-ejaculate happened prior to starting the pill. Thank you!
