Hello

Slight delay in periods can occur normally after intercourse. Your pregnancy test is negative so no need to worry. Ipills can cause delay in periods.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Nausea might occur due to other reasons. Its not specific for pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking a follow up

Nausea is not at all related to pregnancy as shown in movies. Though in pregnancy nausea might occur in some females but that doesn't mean that nausea is specific for pregnancy. You had withdrawal bleeding after ipill and pregnancy test is also negative. So I don't think there is any need to worry.

Thanks.
