Hi,
You need not worry.
if you had postinor pill within 24 hrs it 99% prevents pregnancy.
Delay in periods could be due to postinor which delays ovulation or implantation.
I would suggest you wait for few more days.
However I would suggest you get urine pregnancy test to relieve your anxiety.
I find this answer helpful
