There was no need to take a pregnancy test at 3 weeks or 5 weeks because you had bleeding that resembled a menstrual flow. The bleeding indicated that you were not pregnant.
When an emergency contraceptive is used repeatedly (more than once in a menstrual cycle, or more than occasional once-a-month use), menstrual changes may occur, including a shorter or longer cycle and a heavier or lighter period than normal.
That is why your next period is late. Not because of pregnancy.
I urge you to schedule an appointment with a gynecologist. It is important to have your hormone levels checked, since you have taken an ECP more than once. And, if you are not ready to become pregnant, you need to use some type of birth control.
