Brief Answer:
ipill is 95% effective
Detailed Answer:
hi there
welcome to health care magic
i can understand your concern.
in my opinion i pill is 95% effective if taken with in 72 hrs of unprotected intercourse.
as in your case cycle is of 21 days,8 th XXXXXXX will fall in unsafe period.but as you have taken ipill with in stipulated time chances of pregnancy might be very less.
As there is delayed period i suggest you to do urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
ususlly pregnancy test is positive a week after missed period.
if the test is negative and period is delayed it might be due to hormonal imbalance caused by ipill.
hope i am able to satisfy your query.

Do u mean I might become pregnant. Bcoz till now its 7 th july no periods. But taking a test is too early what to do
Brief Answer:
Chances of becoming pregnant are very remote
Detailed Answer:
hi there
chances of becoming pregnant is very rare.
but I suggest you to consider doing pregnancy test only if periods are delayed more than 7 days.
this is only to cross check as there is some rare chance of failure of Ipill.
Still I can tell you that as Ipill gives 95% of protection from pregnancy there is nothing to worry .
taking test too early will not give any results
just relax
Hope I am able to answer your query
