HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of emergency contraception can sometimes be associated with changes to the menstrual cycle so it is possible that it is responsible for your period delay but you still need to consider a pregnancy test.
It would be best to rely on the use of consistent contraception. The oral contraceptive pill has a higher rate of protection than emergency contraception.
There are also other forms of contraception such as condoms, IUD, depo injection.
I hope this helps
