I dunno, but you should be tested by a doctor, just in case. There are usually free clinics in any area.
Also, your symptoms may be side-effects of the EC
"What Are the Side Effects?
Some girls experience side effects when they take EC pills. The most common are abdominal pain, fatigue, irregular bleeding, headaches, and breast tenderness. Like most medications, though, reactions vary from person to person. Tara says she “ended up vomiting for a good two hours,” while Amy, 18, of Boulder, CO, experienced no side effects at all."

Hope all is well :)

After having sex, you have upto 5 days to take the pill ...so you should be fine. Maybe you're just worrying yourself too much and feeling paranoid about it. If you want to feel better about this, simply buy a pregnancy test and see for sure. I'm pretty sure you're not pregnant though since the "morning after pill" is another form of birth control but is made to work faster and with only a dose of it.

I highly doubt you're pregnant. The combination of taking the pill your stress is probably just causing a late period. Wait it out.

All your symptoms also point to starting your period! If you are stressing over them though, that can cause you not to have your period.
All tests were negative so I doubt you are pregnant. Calm down a bit and I'll bet you will get your period. :)

There are too many variables for anyone to be able to guess. You know too much about the signs of pregnancy, and it would be totally natural for you to psych yourself into feeling some of them.
The morning after pill is fairly effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. The numbers I've seen indicate that it reduces the chance of pregnancy from between 75 to 89 percent. But you took it on the late side, which apparently does reduce its effectiveness. Still, the odds would seem to be on your side.
But the only way to know is to take a pregnancy test. They're cheap, accurate, and easy to use. Odds are that the results will be negative, but in any case, it would be a lot better to KNOW. There's no reason to wait.
It would also be a very good idea to make an appointment with your OB/GYN and ask her (or him) about your options for birth control and protection from STDs.
Good luck!
