Hi Ms. Maybel,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and let me give you a couple of quick facts. Firstly, you had the intercourse during the safe period of the cycle and did not need the emergency contraceptive in the first place. This is because ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is the fertile phase when conception can occur. Secondly, the emergency contraceptive pill contains high doses of progesterone and this causes hormone imbalances leading to delayed periods. Please get further help if you become overdue by ten days. Hope this helps.
