You left it to the last day which means there is about a 50-50 chance of it working effectively.
After you've taken the emergency contraceptive pill, your periods can become irregular. (earlier, later) and you could bleed inbetween waiting for your period. (You should have been given leaflets explaining and any other side effects prior)
Inbetween now and saturday, try not to worry. Chances are, it will turn out how you want it. But if not, you've taken a mature step and are receiving help. If it turns out you are pregnant, you will need to think about your options. It's early days, so it will be easy to get a termination if that is what you want.
Best of luck. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
