Brief Answer:
Irregular periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Emergency contraceptive pills should not be taken frequently. It should be taken only in emergency situations. Present problem could be due to I pill ,which are high dose progesterone and can alter periods.
So you can wait for next cycle and try to avoid taking I pill in between.
If still it comes too early ,then better to get a scan and gynaec check up.
If the clitoris is swollen up or reddish ,possibility of infection has to be ruled out .
You can clean the tip by retracting the skin of clitoris and apply any antibiotic ointment.
Hope my answer helps you.
