Brief Answer:
Do one home pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for your additional info.

1) Irregular or repeated intake of emergency pill makes cycle irregular or late period. Instead, you should take REGULAR pill if you want to involve in sex frequently. It will give more safety and regular cycle.

2) Though, chance of pregnancy is quite LOW (as pill taken within 24 hrs), I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test. It will help to clear doubt.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Practice safe sex in future. Good luck and take care.

Brief Answer:
Most get within 7-10 days. Do pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome back again.

1) Most women get withdrawal bleeding within 7-10 days after taking emergency pill. However, if you don't get it by this time, you must undergo one pregnancy test.

2) REGULAR pills are combined birth control pill. It should be taken from D1 of cycle for next 21 days and then 7 days gap to get period.

Hope, it helps for you. Review with test result. Good luck.
