Hi,
As you have taken the emergency pill within the stipulated time, your chances of conceiving are very low. As the emergency pill contains high doses of hormones enough to disrupt the normal hormonal milieu, your period may get delayed. If you do not get your cycle within 10-14 days beyond the due date, you should consult a specialist for further support. Hope your query is answered. Take care.
