Periods delayed
I had my last periods on 3rd Jan 2017. I had unprotected sex on 21st Jan 2017 and took an I pill on the same day. My usual menstrual cycle is 26 to 28 days however there are no signs of periods as yet. Is it normal for periods to be delayed after taking the ecp....I pill ? How much delay is expected?
