I'm really worried because I took the ipill about 20 hours after having unprotected sex back in April, but now I've taken a pregnancy test twice, and both times it's come back positive.

I've just finished a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, and it's been four days since then, but I still haven't got my period. How long is it usually supposed to take after finishing the medication for periods to start? Should I be concerned?
After taking a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, it is common to experience a delay in the onset of your menstrual period.
