Brief Answer:
delay is due to ipill intake

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There are minimal chances of pregnancy because you had ipill within stipulated time and pregnancy test is negative.
This delay in periods is due to ipill intake so just wait for a week for periods and in case you still don't get them then take tablet norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day for three and after stopping the drug you will get periods in 2-5 days.
Take care
