Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
It is very unlikely that you are pregnant, but a pregnancy test would be a great idea. The emergency contraception has the effect of delaying ovulation, and this sometimes leads to irregular bleeding and delayed cycles. But realize that the Ipill is not 100% effective, so you need to check a pregnancy test and continue using condoms.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
