Hi,
There is a major misunderstanding dear.
-Mifepristone & Misoprostol are drugs for medical termination of pregnancy. The bleeding after these is due to termination of pregnancy or abortion.
For this pregnancy has to be there (pregnancy between 49 to 63 days has a good effect) tubal pregnancy is to be excluded.
*If you are not pregnant or pregnancy is less than 7 weeks or more than 9 weeks you may not have bleeding.
-I pill is an emergency contraceptive. It contains high dose hormone.
This pill prevents pregnancy by postponing ovulation day. Because of this, the period is delayed by 8-10 days.
*In your case two types of drugs having opposition effects were taken. This might have caused hormonal imbalance to cause a menstrual delay. I would suggest you to-
-Get USG scan of the pelvis for excluding pregnancy / for excluding possible ovarian problems which can delay periods.
-Wait for 8-10 days for periods to appear..do not take any other medication on your own.
Meet a gynecologist for needful investigations, pinpointing the cause & followed by cause-specific treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
