Welcome to HCM.I understand your concerns.

Emergency pill may cause delayed periods.
Wait for few more days ,get a Urine pregnancy test again.

If it is negative you can use Registrone 5 mg thrice daily for 5 days.It will cause withdrawl bleeding and your periods will start.
Still you have doubt of pregnancy get an ultrasound and consult a gynic for furthur treatment according to scan result.

Hope this will help you,thank you.
