Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It takes 48-72 hours for withdrawal bleeding to occur after emergency pill intake.
So relax and wait for that which can take 2-3 more days in certain people.

Brief Answer:
Withdrawal bleeding is not a must

Detailed Answer:
If the date of expected periods is in 12-14 days then there can be just some spotting after I pill or in some cases there is no withdrawal bleeding at all.
So in case you don't have any withdrawal bleeding then wait for periods till expected date and in case you miss them then do a urine pregnancy test.
All the best.
