Hallow Dear,
Emergency contraceptive pills contain hormone(s). Hence, if you have taken them in this cycle, the menstrual period can be delayed for about a week or so. Delay by 13 days is a bit more delay. However, since your pregnancy tests are negative even after 13 days missed period, you are not pregnant; hence you may take Tab. Deviry for 5 days; 4-7 days after that you should get withdrawal bleeding.
To avoid such stressful conditions, in future, if you do not want to go for pregnancy so soon, please follow some reliable contraceptive methods like birth control pills, condom or intrauterine devices.
I hope this helps you.
