Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..

Sorry, I didnt understand your question properly.. Can you please clarify it?

Did you mean after taking emergency contraception you didn't get periods or you have ongoing bleeding from march 19th?

Emergency pills are known to cause irregular cycle and intermenstrual spotting.. These problems would last only for a month.. Next cycle it will be fine..

If you have a delayed cycle of more than 1week from the expected date, get a pregnancy test and if negative, take progesterone tablet for 5days to get withdrawal bleeding..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
