IPill, sometimes referred to as the “morning after pill,” is emergency contraception you take within 48-72 hours after unprotected sex. It contains a high level of hormones that interfere with the implantation of a fertilized embryo. The (hormone) can have side effects including irregular bleeding, nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, breast pain. Irregular bleeding can last a month or more.

If by "taking an i pill" means taking either a birth control pill or a hormonal pill for "emergency contraception", pregnancy is certainly possible. Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.
