Hi,

As you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill immediately after unprotected intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy is less. The possible factors for your delayed periods are:
-As you have taken the emergency contraceptive pill in the second half of the cycle due to the high progesterone levels in it, it may delay your periods.
-Though the possibility of pregnancy is less, as your three pregnancy test kits gave negative results, if you want to completely exclude the possibility, please go for blood test for pregnancy once which can give more accurate result compared with urine test.

If the serum beta HCG levels in the blood test are less than 5 mIU/mL, the possibility of pregnancy can be ruled out and you may get periods soon. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, especially during the premenstrual period increased vaginal discharge can be seen under the influence of progesterone hormone.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
