Wait: This may be an effect of the emergency contraception. I would check a pregnancy test and wait a few days before doing anything else and see if the cycle starts.

Late period ?OK: Taking emergency contraceptive hormones can delay the onset of the subsequent menstrual period by a few days. There is always the possibility that the treatment failed and you might be pregnant. I would not be too concerned yet. Practicing reliable contraception will avoid this kind of anxiety in the future.

Don't panic: It is unlikely that you are pregnant, but if you still not get your menses by next week, you should take a pregnancy test and always use protection.
