Hello,

I think that there can be pregnancy but for that you need to repeat the urinary pregnancy test after 1 weeks ,if it comes positive medicine will be required to terminate pregnancy.

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

Take care

Hi there.
Let me answer your question.

As you might be aware that emergency contraceptive pills contain high doses of progesterone hormone.
Withdrawal bleeding that occurs after such pills is erratic. It can be early or late and it can be early or delayed.

If she gas crossed her expected date of the period, please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
If negative, wait for the onset of natural menses.
If positive, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with pulls under medical supervision.

I hope this answer helps you

Thanks.
