Hi,
There is no reason to worry.
From your notes I was not able to find out the date of your last menstrual period.
After taking Levonelle it is not a routine to get period within a week. Your period usually comes as per your schedule or may be delayed upto a week from the due date. In some women it may be preponed by few days.

Since this method is not 100% effective if your period is delayed by more than a week from due date, get a pregnancy test done.
In future if you wish to avoid pregnancy i would advise you to use contraception like birth control pills or intrauterine devise as they are more effective in avoiding pregnancy than emergency contraception.
