Question: hello doctor,
I had unprotected sex and had taken the ipill after 24 hours exact time the next day.
I didnt get any bleeding withdrawal as a sign of the ipill . my periods is due until next five days.
Does it mean the ipill didnt work ? would it delay my periods ? will it be normal ?

its been almost 9 days of taking the ipill and still theres so sign of the bleeding . my periods due is in another five days and am worried whether it will delay my cycle . Since theres no withdrawal bleeding will it cause normal periods cycle or will it delay it ? Is there anything I should do ?
Brief Answer:
Let us wait and be "watchful".
Detailed Answer:
Hi Ma'am,
Even in 10-15% women, withdrawal bleed will not occur and will coalesce with the bleed of the next cycle.
The next cycle in any case will not be normal.
You need not do any thing specifically.
It does not need any additional treatment.
You can safely wait even till the next cycle.

Its been two weeks after consuming the ipill and am on my periods date i didnt get any ! how long will it be delayed ? is anything wrong ? its been disturbing
Brief Answer:
Get a TVS transvaginal ultrasound.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.
I understand your concern.
There is nothing major to worry in your case.
There is nothing wrong.Its just an hormonal imbalance.
Menstrual cycle irregularity is common in I pill users .
This should not trouble you.
We can predict the possibility of periods now through uterus imaging like TVS-transvaginal ultrasound .
