Brief Answer:
It can be a side effect of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can understand your concern.
It can be a side effect of I-pill because due to hormonal imbalance it can change menstrual cycle for 2-3 months.
The chances of pregnancy are there if you had unprotected sexual intercourse after taking I-pill.
If you missed your menses by 7 days, you should get your a home urine pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy.
Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.

Brief Answer:
No there is no chance of pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There is no chance of pregnancy in your case as she had normal period after sex and you had no sex after menses.

Period may be delayed due to side effects of I-pill.

Do not take any stress, wait and watch for her menses for 3-4 days and then get her urine pregnancy test done ( as a rule) to rule out pregnancy.

Hope it is useful.
