saturday night/sunday morning me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex, but he pulled out before he came. just to be safe, i had the morning after pill on tuesday afternoon. my period was due earlier this week and it still hasn't came yet. my periods have been regular recently, so i've pondered that the morning after pill didn't work and i could be pregnant, or its effecting my periods. can anyone help me? love josie x

The OP took it just before the 72 hours was up, so she should've still been protected.
The MAP can make your cycle go a bit funny. I wouldn't worry too much about it. However, follow Scary Monster's advice - if it don't come soon, take a test to be sure.
You know what, it would be nice just once for someone to be able to ask a question about the Morning After Pill and not get lectured on why they didn't use protection in the first place. If you read the guidelines, it says personal questions should only be asked for good reasons, and I don't think you being nosey and wound up counts as a good reason.
