Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
The fact that you had a withdrawal bleed on 1st july after intercourse on 18-23rd XXXXXXX after IPILL intake confirms that you are not pregnant , however the present delay by more than 10 days is likely to be due to the known side effect of ipill to delay next 1-2 menses.
So best would be to rule out pregnancy with a urine pregnancy kit and if negative then you may just wait for another week for menses to resume naturally and if still not then can opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterones.

What are the negative effects of this on health. Could this trigger some medical problem for me? I am more worried about my health rather than pregnancy.

Hello,
No there are no medical problems which can occur as such once the menses regularise after 2-3 months. Avoid taking ipill , more than 1 in any month if needed, else for protection you should use oc pills or hormonal implants.
