Brief Answer:
Wait till 28th.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The delay in periods is due to the side effect of i-pll. Pregnancy is ruled out as the test is negative. You can wait till 28th for the periods to start. in case the periods are still late then do consult a gynecologist and get hormonal pills prescribed for a withdrawal bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
