Brief Answer:
Pregnancy less likely if i pill taken within 24 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Unprotected intercourse on the day 14 of your periods can lead to pregnancy.
However, taking i pill within 24 hours of the unprotected intercourse prevents the pregnancy to occur in 95-98% cases.
I will suggest you to wait for your next periods and if delayed, then you should get a urine pregnancy test done.
If positive, then you can terminate the pregnancy by medicines, under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner.
If negative, you need not worry as i pill also has a side effect of delaying the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Not possible to detect fertilisation so early
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
it is not possible to detect by any means whether the egg is fertilised or not.
It can be detected only at least after 14 days of the intercourse, when the pregnancy hormone beta hCG can be detected in blood, and can be checked by a blood test.
Symptoms of pregnancy appear only after one misses the periods, not immediately after the fertilisation.
If the pregnancy test is positive, then you can terminate the pregnancy by taking mifepristone and misoprostol tablets, but after proper examination by an OBGYN specialist.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

No chance of pregnancy, polycystic ovarian disease likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is 100% ruled out.
Delay in periods and pimples can be due to hormonal disturbances like polycystic ovarian disease.
I will suggest you to get your ultrasound done and your thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels checked to confirm the diagnosis.
You can get back to me with the reports.
