Welcome to the EmpowHER community. Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern that your period is late.
Changes in the menstrual cycle are a reported side effect of emergency contraceptive pills.
The pill prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. It can cause your next period to start earlier or later than expected. Flow might be lighter or heavier than normal.
If you do not have any bleeding within three weeks of taking the pill, then you should test for pregnancy.
