Hi
I can understand your concern.

Emergency contraceptive pill like I pill is effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy only if it is taken within 72 hours of UNPROTECTED sex.

If more than 72 hours have lapsed & if you have a delayed period get the home pregnancy test done to confirm the pregnancy. Then consult a gynecologist because it is not safe to terminate the pregnancy with out consulting a doctor. An ultrasound should be done to ascertain the dluration and the location of the pregnancy (it SHOULD NOT BE Ectopic pregnancy).
Then the doctor will prescribe the kit containing tablets of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. After taking the pills bleeding occurs within 6 hrs to 3-5 days.

Then an ultrasound has to be done to confirm the abortion.
Hope this answers your query.
