Hello,

I-pill gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy if taken within first 24 hrs. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite low or rare.

However, it can cause late period due to hormonal imbalance and associated mental stress. Your period may be delayed for 1 -2 weeks.

I suggest to undergo one home pregnancy test if your period is delayed more than 1 week. On negative result, you can take Progesterone pill to induce period.

Kindly, consult with your doctor for if you don't get your period within next 7 days.

Good luck and practice safe sex.
