Brief Answer:
Pregnancy is not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Since you took I-pill within one hour, you are 97% protected against pregnancy.
You can have a mild spotting for next 3-4 days due to the withdrawal effect of the I-pill.
The next periods can be delayed by a week or so. No need to worry.
Just wait for your next periods and test your urine for pregnancy in case the next periods are delayed by more than a week.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
