Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Emergency contraceptive pills has effect on your menstrual cycle due to the hormonal combination in the pill. You can maximum wait for a duration of 10days delay.

I advice you to do serum beta HCG test which is more reliable than HPT to rule out pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
