What should I do if my period is delayed by two days?

Patient's question:

On June 15th of this year, I took emergency contraception once. Three days later, my period came. My menstrual cycle was normal. In September, I forgot [to take it], but in October, my menstrual cycle was only 20 days. Then, it became three weeks, and it's getting earlier and earlier... However, since my period came on November 4th, it hasn't arrived yet. Could this be a side effect of the birth control pill? Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of assistance is needed: Urgent help, please, urgently.

Doctor's answer:

Your situation is considered to be menstrual irregularity caused by taking emergency contraception, with periods coming earlier sometimes and later other times, experiencing the side effects of emergency contraception. Your period started on November 4th, and now it's December 3rd. You don't need to worry too much; just wait a few more days and see. It might come tomorrow. I don't know how you took effective contraceptive measures. If you did, there's no need to worry. I suggest you go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a follow-up examination and let the doctor diagnose your condition.
