Brief Answer: more than 95% effective Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Norlevo pill (emergency contraception) gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy if it is taken within first 24 hrs. In your case, chance of pregnancy is quite low (less than 1%) as it was taken on day 11 of the cycle. Your next cycle will be delayed for 1 to 2 weeks from period due date due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress. Most women get late period after intake of this pill. However, I suggest to undergo one home pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than 1 week. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Rakhi Tayal. For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
