Delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
You had intercourse on 1st of August and took i pill after 15 to 20 min.Your expected date was 14th August.
Though you have not mentioned the regularity of your cycles I pill should protect you from pregnancy. The delay could be because of i pill,stress etc.You can wait for 5 more days and if no periods, can do an urine pregnancy test.
Hope my answer helps you.
