HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Emergency contraception is normally very effective in preventing pregnancy though not as effective as the regular use of birth control.
It can cause changes in the menstrual cycle in terms of the timing and the intensity of the period.

It is possible that this the cause of the period delay.

She can consider a pregnancy test to see if she has conceived if her period does not come by a certain time. These are accurate from day 11 to 14 after conception.

I hope this helps
