Hello,

I-pill gives protection more than 95% against unwanted pregnancy if taken within first 24 hrs. However, it is the main reason for NOT getting period on your actual date. It occurs due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress. Period may be delayed for 1 -2 weeks.

You must wait at least 1 week and repeat the pregnancy test again to rule out conception. On negative result, you can take progesterone pill to induce period. Kindly, consult with your doctor for prescription.

Good luck and practice safe sex.
