                                            Question : i had taken i pill within 72 hours after sex and had a bleeding in 10 days... now i missed my periods... am i pregnent?
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
Less likely....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I pill is known to interfere with menstrual cycles - withdrawal bleeding in between cycles and delayed menstruation are two common effects of i-pill. If you have not been involved in another unprotected sexual intercourse after your last I-pill, chance of pregnancy is exceedingly low. 
I don't think you should be worried about pregnancy. But if its significantly troubling you, get your urine tested using home pregnancy kit. 
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

                                    Brief Answer:
Astronomical chances of pregnancy....
Detailed Answer:
As per my understanding, you had unprotected intercourse on the day of your period and then took i pill - withdrawal bleed followed 10 days later - and now you are late by 2 weeks. If this was the sequence of events, then your chances of pregnancy are in astronomical figures. 
Your withdrawal bleed has likely reset your menstrual dates this month. The delay o 2 weeks is accepted. You can wait for few days say 3-5 days more and consider using hormonal drugs under care of a gynecologist to induce periods. 
I did not write about pregnancy test here as I am fairly convinced you are not pregnant. But it will help your gynecologist to prescribe drugs to induce period after you show her a negative pregnancy report.
Therefore wait for few more days. If it doesn't occur, visit a gynecologist with urine pregnancy report.
Hope I am clear. You are free to ask for clarifications.
