Brief Answer:
No doubt of getting pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Please relax.
On the 7th day of the cycle, you are least likely to ovulate, hence pregnancy is not very possible at this time.
Moreover, you already used a condom.
Plus you took an I pill also.
So there is absolutely no chance of a pregnancy.
Regarding your next period - it can be altered by the I pill.
The I pill can prepone or postpone your next period by a week or upto 10 days.
So the next period is unpredictable.
You may also have some withdrawal bleeding in response to the I pill.
Please use reliable contraception next month onwards.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
