Hello dear
I understand your concern
I pill is 95 % effective in preventing the pregnancy, so chance of the pregnancy is 0-5 %.
Period came on the 17th feb is breakthrough bleeding due to high progesterone in the I pill and it is not your normal period date.
Your next period date is on 6th march but it can be delayed by 8-10 days by I pill.
If period will delay by more than 12 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by abortion pill under the advice of the gynecologist.
Avoid stress as stress itself cause delayed in the period.
Take healthy diet and do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
