HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Emergency contraception can alter the period. They can potentially affect the timing or intensity of the period.

This means that it is possible that pills are the reason for the delay.

Because, however, they are not as effective as the regular use of contraception, you should still consider a pregnancy test.

I hope this helps
