Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Since your repeated pregnancy tests are negative and you took I-pill after the intercourse ( provided you took i-pill within 24 hours of having an unprotected sex), it is likely that the delay in your periods is due to PCOD or due to the hormonal changes caused by the i-pill. Delay in the period by few days is a common side effect of i-pill.
Pregnancy is not a likely cause in your case.
You can wait for one week and if still the periods do not come then you need to consult a gynecologist who will then prescribe you hormonal treatment o regularize your cycles.
I hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
