Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. It is better to avoid emergency pill in the current scenario to avoid further hormone imbalance. If this was your first cycle with the oral contraceptive pill, you should have used additional protection. Since you have not received your period as scheduled, please go for a HPT or an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres to exclude/confirm pregnancy. Further management can be planned accordingly. Hope this helps.
