Brief Answer:
Period is delayed due to the I pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
After taking the I pill, most women experience some kind of bleeding or spotting.
Also, it is normal for your periods to be delayed after taking the I pill.
Now do not take any pills or medications.
Just take a pregnancy test.
And wait for a few more days, you will have your period.
Do not take I pill very frequently, it can make your periods regular.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
