Delayed Menses
My last menstrual period was 36 days ago, and I am not experiencing my usual pre-period symptoms. I had unprotected intercourse around 30 days ago and took an oral emergency contraceptive within 2 hours. I have since taken both urine and blood pregnancy tests, which were negative. Could the emergency contraceptive be causing this delay, or should further evaluation be done?
