Brief Answer:
deviry is not a contraceptive.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

Deviry does not work as contraceptive pill. You have to go for other contraceptive pill like ipil.
I would like to tell you that ipill works best when taken within 72 hours of intercourse.

You have taken deviry for two days. I would advise you to take the drug for total 5 days. The periods will start in 3-4 days of stopping the drug.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
stress can delay periods.

Detailed Answer:
Deviry and I pill can be taken together. The combination is not contraindicated.

But ipill can alter periods. It can cause early or late periods.

And as you are taking deviry for initiation of periods, ipill can counteract this effect by delaying this effect.

Stress can cause altered menses. It can delay periods. But the causes like PCOD, Hormonal disorders (thyroid problems, prolactin levels) must be ruled out before the stress is attributed as the cause of delayed periods.

Kindly discuss this with your doctor.

Hope this helps.
