You are done with this month's cycle on 5th and withdrawal after pills again after 4-5 days.
Emergency contraceptives can delay next months cycles as there interfere with the natural hormonal rhythm. Your pregnancy test is negative so be rest assured..
Wait for next cycle date, after next 28-30 days, if you dont get your next periods then contact and connect for menstrual regulation.

I pill causes irregular menses , but since you have missed periods it’s better to get tested for pregnancy. Urine pregnancy tests can sometimes give false negative result so you need blood test for pregnancy
Next Steps
Blood test for pregnancy is- s. Beta HCG test ( more reliable than urine test for pregnancy)
Health Tips
It’s always better to rule out pregnancy

After taking IPill periods are irregular for 2-3 months. Since you got your periods/ (withdrawal bleed after pill) on 10th March . Most probably periods this month will come after 11 th April.
If you still don't get periods till 15 do a pregnancy test.

It is normal,Understanding that your menses are regular and had your periods on 28th of Feb, and as you mentioned that your periods got over on 4th of March, having Intercourse on day 5, was the safe period, in such case Ipill was not necessary.
However now that you have taken Ipill, it being a hormonal tablet, it can cause menstrual irregularities for this month. Your periods should come by this month end, incase you don't get your periods , get a serum beta Hcg checked or a urine pregnancy test.
Consult if further suggestions are required.

Since withdrawal bleeding happened after taking emergency contraceptive pill, this will now be considered as your last period. Next period will be around a month from this bleeding.
Next Steps
Wait till 30 completed days

Answer to your question - it is normal. It’s a side effect of I pill - delayed and irregular menstrual cycle
Safety- unsure as I pill has very high failure rate
Next Steps
Bhcg test / ultrasound scan if no menstruation until 25 March
Health Tips
Do not consume anymore pills to get periods until confirmation via bhcg test or ultrasound
