Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are less.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you once again.

The chances of pregnancy have always been there with unprotected sex but it is less in your case because that was your safe days of period.

You should go for a home urine pregnancy test, as you are 9 days overdue for period.

If test results are negative, wait for one week for your menses because in your case period is delayed due to stress and medication.

Hope it is useful.
