Hallow Dear,
Levonelle is a 'the morning after pill' or post coital emergency contraceptive pill. These type of pills have following after effects:
1. Few days after the consumption of the pills, some bleeding may take place. It lasts for a couple of days and then stops of its own. It does not require any medical treatment nor requires any attention. You had some spotting as such after effect of the pill.
2. Usually, the period following these pills is delayed by few days to a week or so. Thus your periods are delayed by few days. Usually, after a week's delay or so, the menses appear.
Even after 42 days of missed period ( a week after missing period) your pregnancy tests are negative; so you are not pregnant. Just wait patiently for the menses to appear; you will get them within few days. No action is required.
I hope this helps you.
