Brief Answer:
Very difficult to calculate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

The chances of pregnancy are less but still there because you had unprotected sex after intake of i-pill.

Ovulation calculation is very difficult in your case as you had taken I-pill which may cause hormonal disturbances as well as ovulation changes.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.

When would be the best time to test for pregnancy? Also I want to know till what time does the effect of the I-pill last ?

Brief Answer:
Urine test should be done 7 days after missed period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for the delay in my response.
You should get your home urine pregnancy test after 7 days of your missed period date.

I-pill is only effective after unprotected sex,if you had sex after i-I-pill,than you should repeat the dose of I-pill.

Good luck.
