Hi,
Menstruation after taking emergency contraception can be delayed due to the effects of the hormone.
That being said, if she hasn't got period as expected, please be advised to do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy, as there is a 1% chance of failure for emergency contraceptives.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
