Well your are suppose to take the pill
atleast within 72 hours...And the sooner
you take it the better it works..So I
wouldnt think that pill would have
helped...You probably need to go and get a
blood test done with your doctor...

i took the pill once (only after a couple
hours of having sex) and it didn't have
any symptoms on me other then on my second
dose it made me projectile vomit (haha I
was on the bus and had to get off right
away). But my friend took it not that
long ago and then her period was late and
she felt weird, so she went to the clinic
to take a preg. Test and the doctor said
that it was normal for the pill to screw
up your cycle (but i'd take another
pregnancy test to be sure about a week or
so after your period is due...But keep in
mind some women never produce enough of
the pregnancy hormone to have a positive
hpt test...So if it's still acting weird
in a few weeks i'd go get a blood test
done to be sure)

emergency contraception
is best when taken as soon after
unprotected sex as possible. It is most
effective within 72 hours after
unprotected intercourse. However, it is
still effective to about 120 hours after
unprotected intercourse. Right after
unprotected sex, it is reportedly
effective 86% of the time. After 72
hours, it drops to somewhere in the 60%
range and at 120 hours it drops far under
50%.
You should still have some protection,
though it wouldn't be as good as if you
could have taken it immediately after
intercourse.

a test now should be
most reliable. If it comes out negative
again, relax a bit because stress can
effect the timing of our cycle. When
we're stressing about our late periods we
can even start to think that normal bodily
aches, pains, or even a cold is a symptom
of pregnancy. Most of the time, we're
wrong. Take a test now since you've
missed your period and if it's negative
and you're still not at ease, schedule an
appointment with your doctor or at a
clinic.
Peace,

Your period may come late because you took
the morning-after pill, but since you're
having pregnancy symptoms, i'd re-test as
soon as you can. The test probably
couldn't pick up enough hcp levels 4 days
before your period was due, but it should
be able to now. Good luck.
