Brief Answer:
Emergency pill can cause the symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

You said you have irregular periods but you did not say how irregular you are. Anyway, intercourse soon after a period is relatively safe and as such, there is no need for emergency contraception in such an instance. Chances of pregnancy are almost nil when the pill is taken within the stipulated time even during the fertile period. The symptoms you are experiencing can be caused by the emergency pill as it contains excess hormone. Your cycle may get delayed. If you do not see your period even after 10-14 days of the expected date, please consult a specialist for further evaluation.

Hope your query is clarified. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.
