Hi,
Emergency contraception creates so much disturbance in the hormonal milieu of the body that the period usually gets delayed and a withdrawal bleed is often observed. Intake of the pill within the stipulated time interval is enough protection to prevent any failure. Moreover, if you have had the intercourse during the safe period, you would be naturally protected. Please wait for your next natural period and if you do not see a period even after 10 days after you are due, see a specialist for further evaluation. Hope this helps.
