Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you have taken emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of unprotected intercourse the possibility of pregnancy is less. Sometimes after taking emergency contraceptive pill it may take around one week to 10 days to get the withdrawal bleeding. As you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill in the second half of the cycle usually the time taken to get the withdrawal bleeding will be more compared with the tablet taken in the first half of the cycle. So, you better to wait for 5 more days. If you do not get periods even after that please go for urine pregnancy test once to rule out the possibility of pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
