Hello,

Firstly, you did not need any additional protection since you were in the safe period during the intercourse. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period. Secondly, the emergency contraceptive pill has high hormone content and hence causes hormone disturbances. This can delay the next natural period by a week or two. This is the most likely reason for your delayed period. Please get a clinical evaluation if you become overdue for ten days. Please restrict the use of emergency pills to one or two occasions per year.

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

Regards,
