delayed period could be a sign of pregnancy but could also be due to other reasons like stress , thyroid disease , polycyclic ovarian disease , hyperprolactinemia

in ur case if it was a single episode of unprotected sex (for which ipill was taken )followed by regular periods for four months , chances of pregnancy r very less

but if there were other episode of sex in the cycle before this delayed period pregnancy chances r high

she should go for urine pregnancy test
if positive or weakly positive please visit ur gynaecologist
