Brief Answer:
Period is delayed due to side effects of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern.
Your period may be delayed due to side effects of I-pill due to hormonal imbalance( It contains high doses of hormone in it).
As you are already missed your period from last 13 days, you should first get a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy ( though the chances of pregnancy are low).
So please get back to us with your test results.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more questions.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

As your pregnancy test is negative than chances of pregnancy are not there in your case.
Please do not get worried and wait for your menses as it is delayed due to hormonal imbalance ( cause by I- pill).
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Cycle predictions is quite difficult.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I can understand your concerns but cycle predictions is quite didifficult after taking I-pill.
Bleeding on 12- 14 th is a withdrawal bleeding due to side effects of I-pill, but your cycle occurs on that date next time it can not be predictable.
Usually it delayed your cycles for 7-14 days.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.
Good luck.
