Emergency contraceptive pills like the one you took do work less reliably at higher body weights, and 86kg is in that range.
Next Steps
See your gynaecologist this week to discuss a more effective backup option for your weight. Take a home pregnancy test if your period is late.
Health Tips
This pill is for emergencies only, not a method you should rely on regularly.
