Brief Answer:
Not likely to be pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you took I-pill within 12 hours of unprotected sex the chances of pregnancy are less than 5%. The delay in periods can be due to the side effect of I-pill that causes a delay in the next periods. If your pregnancy test is negative now then pregnancy is ruled out. You need to wait for your periods to start on their own.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Get hormonal tablets for withdrawal bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The pain in lower abdomen and breast pain can be due to impending periods also. The delay in periods is due to hormonal problem. You need to test your urine for pregnancy. If the test is negative then you can consult your gynecologist and get the hormonal tablets prescribed to get your periods.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
