Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Here are the reasons that you are NOT pregnant from this contact:

1. It was during the 4th day of your cycle, during your period (ovulation in most women does not occur until day#14 - you were not even close)
2. There was no vaginal penetration
3. He used a condom
4. And finally, you used emergency contraception

By my calculation, assuming regular cycles, you are about 6 days late. The reason for the delay in the period is almost certainly related to the ipill. This is a hormonal pill that in many cases, causes a delay or change in when you ovulate. Based on when you took it during your cycle, this would make the most sense - it delayed ovulation and thus leads to a delay in when you get your period. I would expect that you will get your period within the next 1-2 weeks.

I hope that this helps you. Please let me know if you have more questions. I want you to be satisfied with my answer!

Sorry about the delayed follow up. Yes I think these are likely cycle related symptoms. As I stated, give it a week or two and I bet this will all be resolved. I am happy to help in any way that I can!
