well after an ipill , you must ideally wait for 5-8 days for the menses to start. and now that you were already in the secretory phase of your cycle when you had sex, this may sometime be longer as well. the suggestion is to wait for atleast 10 days after your due date and get a pregnancy test done. if its negative , then you can safely wait further for cycles to resume naturally, which they would. as delayed menses is a known side effect of ipill.
