Delayed Menstruation
My last menstrual cycle was also delayed by 4-5 days and this time it has been more than a week since my period was due. I took an emergency birth control pill (i-pill) during the time my periods for this cycle were due and they haven't started since. I last menstruated from 24th to 28th August. Is this an effect of the pill or something else?
