Hello dear
I understand your concern
I pill is 95% effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It cause delayed in the period by 8-10 as it cause prolongation of second phase of the cycle by high progesterone hormone.
If your period will delayed by more then 12 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to rule out the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by abortion pill under the advise of the gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
