Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes pregnancy is possible despite taking I-pill. I-pill is an emergency pill which prevents pregnancy by inhibiting implantation of fertilized egg on the uterus. It is 95% successful if taken within 24 hours of having sex. But its your bad luck that you had failure, even taking within 6-7 hours of having sex.
As your pregnancy tests are positive, your are pregnant. Taking i-pill cannot cause false positive pregnancy test. Also your periods are delayed, therefore you are most definitely pregnant.
Now if you does not want to continue your pregnancy, you should consult a gynaecologist & can undergo an abortion under her guidance

Refer to a gynaecologist

Hope this information helps
