Brief Answer:
Wait for 2-3 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Not having withdrawal periods after taking I pill can be suggestive of failure of I pill, or can be due to the hormonal effect of the previous I pill, which is known to delay the next expected periods by3-3 weeks.
You have to wait for at least 15 days after the sexual intercourse.
If still there is no withdrawal bleeding, then I will suggest you to get a urine or blood pregnancy test, and further management should be done accordingly. At this point, no intervention can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
