Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the emergency contraception pill works by delaying ovulation, and that often also delays the menstrual period.  If I understand you correctly, you haven't missed your period yet, so no cause for concern.  If it is delayed by more than a week, you will need to do a test.
Good luck!
