I took an emergency contraceptives pill immediately after having unprotected sex, after three days my husband had sex with me without protection but hr said he didn't release the sperms inside me. This month my period was suppose to come on the 10th but I see nothing. Is it the use of the contraceptive that has delayed my period or probably i'm pregnant? I'm a little confused.

It can be one of the reason. There is no fixed time in which one bleeds after taking an emergency contraceptive pill. Sometimes unexpected bleeding occurs more over it is not necessary. Next menstrual cycle can be early or delayed as side effects of the pill. Taken within 24 hrs it is 95% effective. You need to do a urine pregnancy test. It should be done 10 days after missing your period. For example, if your date was 10th, then do the test on 20th. Before that, it can give a false negative or false positive test.
