Hello,
Positioner and I--pill are effective emergency contraceptive pills that work well when taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. However, if vomited or when taken while taking other medicines may reduce the efficacy of the pill. The efficacy of the pill also gets reduced if alcohol or some addictive drug is taken along with the pill. Be careful not to take alcohol or any other medicine while taking the emergency CP.
If you took the pill within 72 hours, you shouldn't be pregnant. Your periods may start earlier or a little later due to hormonal changes in your body. However, if you miss the periods completely you are suggested to get clinically examined by a gynecologist and get urine / blood tests done to confirm pregnancy. You will be accordingly managed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
