Brief Answer:
I pill will not cause irregular period

Detailed Answer:
WELCOME
I UNDERSTOOD YOUR QUERY.
You had sex during your fertile period that is after 12 days of last menses. and you have taken i pill within 72 hours and you got period too. so now there is no chance of pregnancy.

I pill generally do not cause irregular period. It acts during the perticular cycle only and do not have effect on next cycle.
so you might have current period little delayed but overall it does not cause irregular period.

hope you are satisfied with my answer.
you can ask me direct queries
thanks

Brief Answer:
ovulation occurs on 60th day of cycle. endometrium in proliferative phase

Detailed Answer:
WELCOME
I understood your concern.
your cycle is irregular that is 75 days.
Remember : ovulation usually occurs 14-16 days before the next cycle. so in cycle of 75 days, ovulation occurs near about 60th day. and before ovulation there is proliferative phase of endometrium that means under the effect of estrogen ,the endometrium is growing up.

so you had sex during unfertile period and the menses you got was due to i-pill.
you will get your period as you were getting it before. i pill will not affect your menstrual pattern.
hope you are satisfied.
thanks
