Brief Answer:
Due to side effect of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Your period is delayed due to side effect of i-pill( I know you had I-pill on last month) because sometimes I-pill affect cycle for 2-3 months or cause menstrual irregularities for 2-3 months.
You should wait and watch for your period for one more week and repeat your urine pregnancy test if not resume your menses.( though the chances are quite low).
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
Regards
