Dear Abisola,
Though you have covered few sexual intercourses with Postinor or Pregnon, some have them were left uncovered. So the chances of pregnancy cannot be excluded.
Abisola, since you had taken so many doses of emergency contraceptive pills, your periods are bound to get delayed. With so may pills in your blood, you cannot predict for how many days they will be delayed.
My advice to you is to perform pregnancy test on overnight urine after a week of missed period; done earlier, you may get false negative results. Alternatively, you may opt for Beta hCG test which can give reliable results even few days before missed period.
If you are pregnant and this is an unwanted pregnancy, you may opt for Medical termination of pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation. If you are not pregnant, you may wait expectantly for about a week more and you will get your menses. Alternatively, you may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days and then within 4-7 days, you should get withdrawal bleeding if you are not pregnant.
I hope this helps you.
