Brief Answer:
thank you so much for your question, I will do my best to help

Detailed Answer:
you can definitely have a late period after taking the morning after pills twice and then the shot. you may not have a period for a while or you may have some irregular bleeding as well. as long as you took the morning after pills within three days of having unprotected sex, you shouldn't have to worry about pregnancy. however, you could take a pregnancy test just for reassurance. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any more questions.
