Brief Answer:
Pill can delay the periods.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concern.

Since you have taken contraceptive pill within 72 hours you have less chance of pregnancy. Contraceptive pill may not induce bleeding in some case. This contraceptive pill works by stopping release of egg from ovary or prevents fertilization if your ovulation occurred already or prevents implantation if fertilization occurred already. This pill can delay the periods.

According to your last date your due date will be around 3 rd week of august; hence I suggest you wait until your due date. If you will not get periods then get home pregnancy test or blood hcg test to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Need gynecologist supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up query.

If you are pregnant and if you do not want to continue the pregnancy then you should visit a gynecologist.
There are no clinically proven natural remedies to terminate the pregnancy.
Medication for termination of pregnancy should be prescribed by gynecologist and it should be done under gynecologist super vision with follow ups for safe abortion. If you take medication on your own it may leads to serious complications like heavy bleeding,sever abdominal pain,incomplete miscarriage and sepsis which turns to shock. Moreover you will not get medication without doctor's prescription.

But at this point of time do not be worried. Emergency contraceptive pills are highly effective when taken early (as it's in your case) and chance of pregnancy is extremely low.

Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
