Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency pill can lead to menstrual irregularities.
As you took the pill within 12 hours after the intercourse it can give protection from pregnancy.
As you interfered with natural menstrual cycle by taking hormones in the form of emergency pill, that can alter the normal menstrual cycle.
So, no need to worry. Possibly in the next month your periods will become regularize.
Take care
