Hi,
Having period upto 35 days is considered normal and you have taken progestin only pill within 48 hours of having unprotected sex then the chances of conception is less which showed in UPT Test .
So in my opinion don't worry wait for 7days for your regular menstruation to come and if still it doesn't comes then repeat UPT to confirm . Use Oral contraceptive pills or barrier contraceptive from now onwards to have peace in mind .

Thanks n regards
