Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I calculate that you had sex 8 days back and your period is overdue by 4 days, it means you had sex 4 days before expected date of period. So the chance of pregnancy is remote. Period may be late due to ipill, if it does not occur in few days then do urine pregnancy test.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
I pill can cause delayed in the period for 3-7 days because of high progesterone in the I pill.
It prolong the luteal phase of cycle lead to delayed period.
Wait for period to come.If period will delay by 12-14 days then go for pregnancy confirmation by urine pregnancy kit/blood HCG.
If pregnancy will confirm and you do not want pregnancy, still you can terminate the pregnancy by using mifepristone plus misoprostol under the advice of gynecologist.
Severe pain may be due to I pill side effects.
Take tablet voveron for pain, apply warm pad application, proper rest, healthy diet should be advisable.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
