Brief Answer:
DELAY MOSTLY DUE TO I PILL

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Postpone tablet is just used to postpone or prepone periods, and does not protect against pregnancy.
I pill causes menstrual delay in some women, maybe upto a week.
Most probably your period is delayed because of that.
You should take a pregnancy test just to be sure , 3 weeks after unprotected sex.
Also, you should use reliable contraception, taking pills like this will cause hormonal imbalance in your body.
All the best.
