hello,

emergency contraception pills act by preventing pregnancy through delaying or inhibiting ovulation, asbthe most probable mechanism of action. Eventhough it has been previously thought that it may alter the endometrium and impair the fertilized egg implantation, recent studies does not show this.
so, if you have a delayed period and a positive pregnancy test, you should have a blood test and a gynecological ultrasonography.

Best regards,
Anisa
