Brief Answer:
due to the effect of unwanted 72

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry as this delay is most probably due to the effect of unwanted 72 and thus your periods will come soon.
Wait for another 2-5 days and in case you still don't get them take progesterone for withdrawal of periods.
And avoid emergency pill intake every now and then.
It can cause irregular periods and even tubal ectopic pregnancy which is a surgical emergency.
Take care in future.
Regards
Dr Manisha
