Don't worry: Birth control pills, when taken properly are 99% effective. Adding the morning after pill only increases that number. The morning after pill can definitely delay a period, so i wouldn't worry, even if you have no period this cycle. Start your next pack on time as scheduled even if you don't get a period. And just because of that missed period, check a pregnancy test 14 days after condom broke.
