Hello,

Emergency pills are highly effective when taken within 72 hours so you don't have to worry about pregnancy. You took a pregnancy test too early, you should take it at least 5days of the delayed period. Your period may be irregular because of the pill you took.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
