Hello
Thanks for your query.
Emergency contraceptives are known to prepone or postpone your periods by a week, and sometimes more, upto 10 days, so do not worry.
Also it is essential to take a pregnancy test which you have already done.
Wait for a week more, and if you fail to have your periods , consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes of skipping a period such as hypothyroidism, raised prolactin levels, polycystic ovaries, endometrial hyperplasia, stress, anxiety etc.
Take care
