Hello,

I-pill gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy if taken within first 24 hrs. Here, chance of pregnancy is quite low.

However, it can cause late period due to hormonal imbalance and associated mental stress. Your period may be delayed for 1 -2 weeks.

I suggest to undergo one home pregnancy test as your period is delayed more than 1 week. On negative result, you can wait few more days to get period as you took MEPRATE for 3 days.

Kindly, consult with your doctor for if you don't get your period within next 7 days.

Good luck and practice safe sex.
