General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern for delay in periods.
i pill is an emergency contraceptive pill. you need to take it within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse.
If you have done that, it should protect you against becoming pregnant.
Well, sometimes, few women experience delay in periods after taking i pill.
Your periods should happen within 3 weeks from the day you have taken the pill. If it doesn't happen, you need to seek medical advise immediately.
Since the urine pregnancy test is negative, you can wait for periods to happen.
All the best.
