As you had unprotected sex, the most probable cause for delay of periods may be pregnancy only, get a urine pregnancy test done. Besides, I pill is an emergency contraception pill that is to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, it will not prevent a pregnancy if taken so many days before having sex.
