hello,
its a oral contraceptive pill not emergency pill.The hormones in this medication mainly prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation (the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries).
it is very important to take the medication every day, at the same time each day.
in your case you are not taking it daily.you have taken it as a emergency pill.but actually its not a emergency pill.
so wait for next cycle to come. if next cycle doesnt come then go for pregnancy test.
take care
