Hello welcome to the health care magic
The emergency contraceptive pill act immediately or by delay ovulation or changing cervical mucus consistency.
It is effective in preventing pregnancy by 95-97%
But it is not 100% effective.
So if your next period is delayed for 7 days than investigate with urine hcg card test to rule pregnancy
If you need to investigate early than blood hcg card test done
Hope your concern solved
