Brief Answer:
Likely the side effect of i pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delay in periods can be due to pregnancy or due to the side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill.
Emergency contraceptive pill is known to delay the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks.
I will suggest you wait for a week.
If no periods occur, then get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out any pregnancy.
If negative, then the delay in periods is due to the hormonal effect of the pill.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
