Brief Answer:
you are not pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
The fact that you have got the withdrawal bleeding after 5 days of taking the ipill , which is as expected, it ensures that you are not pregnant at all and the endometrium has been shed , eliminating any chances of conception. Now with the bleed, you start a fresh cycle and the next menses would be a month later hence , and may be delayed by a week to 10 days as a probable side effect of ipill intake.
Wishing you good health,
Regards

Yes, if you don't get into another sexual act until next menses then if your next menses get delayed , then its not pregnancy, but the delay is ipill induced.
