Hello.
Emergency pills work better the sooner they are taken after intercourse.
Menstrual irregularities i.e.early/late period etc may occur after taking emergency contraceptives.
If your partner has regular cycles, and now her period is late by over a week, let her do the home pregnancy test.
Kindly seek advice on contraceptive use for the future, to avoid anxiety, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Take care.
