Brief Answer:
Negative pregnancy test. Await for your period.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
XXXXXXX ONE is an emergency contraceptive pill and contains ULIPRISTAL Acetate as active ingredient. It will give more than 99% protection against unwanted pregnancy if it is taken within 5 days of unprotected sex.
As you have gotten NEGATIVE pregnancy test, then you should wait for few more days (up to 7 days) to get period naturally. Be relaxed and keep yourself tension free. Mental stress can make your period more delayed.
Breast tenderness, nausea, few days late period, abdominal cramp etc are very much common side effects of the pill. They will overcome within few days.
Take adequate rest, wear comfortable breast support and maintain genital hygiene. Practice safe sex in future.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
