Brief Answer:
Not unusual after taking emergency contraception pills!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this delay and all the inconveniences this has caused you. This is not uncommon that this pills causes transient changes to the cycle. For sure you are not pregnant but these hormonal pills are known to alter the normal expected date for the next menses. This is okay and should not get you confused. Stay calm and relaxed as this often regularizes itself after a few more cycles.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
