Delay in Periods

2026-05-01 16:46:00
Periods delayed by 6 days. My LMP was from 29 March to 2 April. According to my cycle tracker, I was supposed to get my periods on 25 April, but today is 1 May and I still haven’t got them. I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. I also took an iPill emergency contraceptive on 24 April. Could the delay be because of the iPill, or should I be concerned about pregnancy? Please guide.

Delayed period can be due to side effects of emergency pill. Do BetaHCG test to confirm.
