Contraceptive
I took an emergency contraceptive, Unwanted 72, 12 days ago, in the evening as an added precaution before my regular ocp, which I take every night at 10p.m. I've been using a combined pill regularly since 7 months, and haven't missed any doses. However, this time, even after taking an ECP, I have not had any withdrawal bleeding yet. My regular period, caused by the daily ocp, ovral-l is due in 2 days.
Is it normal to not bleed within 6 days of the ECP?
Note: the ECP was taken on the 15th day of cycle, i.e. supposed day of ovulation according to my regular cycle.
As an added precaution, I took a urine pregnancy test which came negative and my BhCG test was also negative.
Would appreciate some advice.
Thank you

Withdrawal bleed is just a side effect may not always manifest
