Brief Answer:
Pregnancy chance is less than 1%.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for choosing XXXXXXX As you have taken emergency contraceptive pill(i-pill) within the prescribed time, the chances of pregnancy is less than 1%. After considering your last menstrual date, in my opinion you can wait for another week, because in current scenario pregnancy cannot be ruled out completely, there can be chances of delayed conception.
During this 1 week waiting period you might get your periods, if you dont get your periods even after 1 week, kindly repeat the urine pregnancy test. If the test is negative you can take progesterone tablets for withdrawal bleeding. If the test comes positive, you need to undergo a scan and take MTP pills after consulting your OBGY specialist.
Kindly do not take stress and don't be too anxious, because these things can delay your periods.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
no i pill donot cause delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
No I-pill do not cause delayed periods. Your delayed period can be due to:
1) As I already mentioned Stress of becoming pregnant can cause delay in periods. Hence I had advised you not to take stress.
2) There is remote chances of pregnancy. Which cannot be completely ruled out presently. Hence you can safely wait for 1 more week and repeat the pregnancy test. Most of my patients get their period during this waiting period.
Other causes for delayed periods are thyroid abnormalities, hormonal imbalance i.e PCOS(poly cystic disease), high prolactin levels..etc, which I am not considering in your case, because I presume it to be your first episode.
Delay for 1 week can be normal (i.e less than 35 days), hence I am advising you to wait for another week. Usually periods can happen during this time or else kindly follow my advise which I have given in your previous question.

Brief Answer:
Please rule out pregnancy before taking any drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Progesterone tablets are given for withdrawal bleeding only after ruling out pregnancy. Yes you have to wait for one more week to confirm if you are pregnant or not. And confirm the prescription and dosage only after consulting your doctor. Kindly do not take any self medication.
If you do not have any further clarification you can close the discussion. Kindly rate & review my answer. Wish you good health.
