Hi,
Plan B or Morning after pill is effective if taken within 72 hrs, as it reduces the risk of pregnancy by 90% but not always 100% protective. Also, it has effect on your pattern of menstrual cycle. I advice you to:
- Do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT to rule out pregnancy
- Consult your doctor for further assistance if there is delay in the next cycle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
