The greatest side effect of emergency contraception is that it will really mess up your menstrual cycle and could delay it.
You could be experiencing a late period because of the morning after pill or you could be pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to take a home pregnancy test. Some women get pregnant and don't have any symptoms or notice any changes in their body until weeks into the pregnancy.
I suggest that you take a test so that you can know for sure.
I am sure it is scary, but the sooner you find out the better. You may not have anything to worry about.
