Hello dear
Understand your concern
Chance of pregnancy is less as you taken I pill with in 24 hour of intercourse.
Sometime i pill can cause hormonal imbalance that lead to delayed period.
If period is delayed by 10 days from normal period date, you have to go for pregnancy confirmation by blood HCG or by USG scan because it is more accurate than pregnancy kit.
So wait for period to come. Mean while take proper rest, stretching exercise and relaxation exercise, take healthy diet, avoid stress, take fruits like orange, papaya and pine apple.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
