Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pill?

Brief Answer:
I pill also delays the periods
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I pill has the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
However, pregnancy should be ruled out by getting a urine pregnancy test done.
I will suggest her to get a urine pregnancy test done.
If negative, then there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
