Is Delayed Period Sign Of Pregnancy?

Hello sir, Good Afternoon, I dont really know how to start and where to,but have to clear some doubts, actually I had sex with my would-be husband last month on 14th and 15th and then took 1 ipill on 15th night, then again had on 16th and 17th and thenafter took another i-pill on 18th night before 72hrs only. My problem is I was suppose to have my periods on 25th of last month but till date am not in mensural cycle. Is there any problem or is it natural to delay upto 1-2weeks? Is it suggested to take medicines for mensural cycle to occur soon? Because we used condom even , but there were some times we couldnt and we are not that sure whether the sperms went inside or not. Cant pay. please help me out :( :( :(

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Your current menstrual delay is most likely due to the emergency pill intake and the resultant hormone imbalance created as the pill contains high hormone dose. Protection is up to 75 percent when the pill is taken within 72 hours and if taken within six hours, it is 98-99 percent. Your natural period can be delayed by a week or two due to the pills and if you become overdue please take the help of a specialist in person. After clinical evaluation, a pregnancy test and a sonogram if needed, you may be induced to have a period. Hope this helps.
