Detailed Answer:
Hello
Taking emergency contraceptive multiple times in the same cycle will cause hormone imbalance . Thereby 4during the efficacy of the drug and causing delays like this . You have taken it so many times that it will take time for your hormone levels to balance out. Do pregnancy test and if it's negative then justwait for your hormone imbalance to normalise . Don't use any more hormonal contraceptives till you .get your period . Use condoms instead .
