Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you took the emergency pill within time, the possibility of pregnancy is less.
Emergency pill can alter the menstrual cycle, depending depending on the period of the cycle when you took the pill.
So possibly the delay in your periods could be due to that.
You wait till your expected date of periods, if you do not get periods by that time, go for pregnancy test once.
If the test comes negative, consult gynecologist once and take tablets for withdrawal bleeding.
For more details you can ask me directly through the premium forum.
Take care.

Hi,
As you took emergency contraceptive after 4-5 hours of sex and if there is no withdrawal bleeding within 4-5 days, risk of having pregnancy is there.
Wait till 7-8 days passed of your expected date of period.
If no period then go for pregnancy test.
Ok and take care.
