Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are less than 5%.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you took I-pill within 3-4 hours of unprotected sex then the chances of conception are less than 5%. The periods may be delayed by a week or so after taking I-pill. It is best to test your urine for pregnancy to rule out pregnancy completely. You can wait for a week more for your periods to start on their own.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
