Brief Answer:
This cycle seems to be safe
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since you had sex on 9th day from first day of your periods chances of pregnancy are very less. However, ovulation cannot be predicted as you have taken I pill in the previous cycle too. I pill can be repeated if you want more safety within 72 hrs. Kindly avoid frequent iPill. Better take other modes of contraception.
I hope my answer helps you. Feel free to ask your doubt with more details.
