Brief Answer:
No chance
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
According to your history, you had foreplay on 20th September, you took pill after 28 hours and you got your period on 8th October which is your regular date.
Since you got your periods after incident then there is no chance of pregnancy.
I would like to ask you few more details.
How was your bleeding in last period?
Do you have any history of unprotected intercourse after period (after 8th October)?
Have you done any urine pregnancy test after missed date (8th November)? If yes, when did you do it and what was the result?
If you have not done, to relieve your anxiety I suggest you get urine pregnancy test done as soon as possible (you can do any time).
Sometimes I pill can cause irregular periods (for 2-3 months) since it contains high amount of hormones which can cause heavy bleeding, delay periods or spotting.
Mental and physical stress can also cause irregular periods.
Kindly get back to me with details.
If you have any other information please shares with me.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Wait for a week
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, no chance of pregnancy.
Delayed periods mostly due to i pill.
I suggest you wait for one more week, if you will not get then visit a gynecologist or your doctor who would advice you progesterone contains medication for 3-5 days. Once you stop the medication you will get withdrawal bleeding within 3-5 days.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
