Hi.
It may be due to an early pregnancy.
The post coital contraceptives ("emergency contraceptives") like I-Pill are 85% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy if taken within 72 hours following an unprotected sex.
Since you had unprotected sex during your most fertile period and the symptoms of lower abdominal camps with delayed period are suggestive of an early pregnancy.
So, get the home pregnancy test done and consult a gynecologist.
Hope this answers your query.
