Dear Doc,

Hello and welcome,

If she had regular periods then the contact occured during the peak fertile days. Neverthless the I pill prevents pregnancy and she has taken them early. So the delayed periods are most likely due to the pill.

If the periods are delayed more than 7 days, get a urine pregnancy test done. If it is negative then there is no need to worry just wait and the periods will come.

Please do not worry, most likely the periods will come.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
