Please help us if this is the case.
Brief Answer:
Period delayed due to side effect of I-pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Her period maybe delayed due to side effect of I-Pill because I- pill contain high dosage of hormone in it and may causes hormonal disturbance.
The chances of pregnancy are very low in her case as her urine test is negative and she had pill on time.
Wait for her menses for one week, if she will not resume her menses then consult a Gynecologist and took medicine for withdrawal bleeding.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
