Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Unprotected intercourse can lead to pregnancy. Delayed periods can be due to the pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then pregnancy is definitely ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile and ultrasound, and get treated accordingly. There is no need to take abortion pills if urine pregnancy test is negative.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
