Hello,

After taking the emergency contraceptive pills you should get periods after 3 weeks but ECP may cause irregular menstruation. You can wait for one more week, but if you do not get periods you should visit a gynecologist, get clinically examined. Get blood & urine tests done to confirm pregnancy. Get it managed at the earliest.

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

Regards,
