Hello dear,
The emergency contraceptive pill is effective only if taken within 72 hours of intercourse. You have not mentioned the date of intercourse, so chances of pregnancy remain.
Do a urine pregnancy test at home once you reach the day of missed period.
Anxiety can also lead to delay in period, so as much as possible do not take stress. For future start using a regular contraceptive.
Hope for the best.
