Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency contraceptive is almost 98% effective. Her chances of pregnancy is minimum.
However to be more sure, i recommend her to get a urine pregnancy test done.
If it is negative, other causes of missed periods like stress, emotional disturbances, weight loss/gain, thyroid problem needs to be ruled out.
She needs to consult the Gynecologist for the same.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
