"EC pills": If you mean "emergency contraceptive pills", your regular cycles may be delayed, but since "EC pills" are not "100% protective" against pregnancy, You might want to consider taking oral contraceptive pills for a more certain way to avoid pregnancy. Condoms are also not 100% protective, so obtain a serum HCG test from your healthcare provider to be sure you are not pregnant.
