Light period reason
Hi Doctor
I had unprotected sex on the last day of my periods which was 28th. To be safe I took an ipill. My periods got delayed for 5-6 days after which I got my periods on 6th March however the period is very light
Today is my 4th day but the bleeding is very light compared to my usual period.
I did a pregnancy test 3 days after taking ipill it was negative. Is Ipill the reason for the light period? Is there any possibility of pregnancy? My breasts are also heaving and slight pain and discomfort

It is a side effect of ipill.
Also do a pregnancy test as ipill is not 100% effective.

Chances of pregnancy are rare as you had intercourse during menses. (Provided that history you mentioned is correct)
I pills are known to cause irregular menses and spotting.
Repeat the pregnancy test if you have doubt and follow up again.
