Brief Answer:
Almost nil chances of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If you have taken i pill on 9 th December, then the withdrawal bleeding will occur in next 5-10 days.
Intake of i pill disrupts the normal menstrual cycle due to hormonal effect of its content levonorgestrel.It delays the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
Moreover, since you had intercourse in immediate premenstrual phase, the chances of pregnancy are almost nil, as it is considered safe period for intercourse.
I suggest you not to worry and wait for next 5-7 days for the withdrawal bleeding to occur.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
