Brief Answer:
see detailed description

Detailed Answer:
Hello, please do a urine pregnancy test and tell me the result.
Emergency pill is usually very effective so most probably the test will be negative.
If negative then just wait for periods as they are delayed because of emergency pill.
Waiting for your reply.

regesterone advised

Hi, ever since pregnancy has been ruled out take tablet regesterone 10 mg at night for 5 days and after stopping it she will get her periods in 2-5 days.
This delay was due to emergency pill so nothing to worry.
