Hi,
Most of the times hormonal contraceptives are prescribed for correcting irregular periods and such pills also act as contraceptives. When you add emergency contraceptive to this (which are not really needed) the hormone levels increase and this may cause delay in your periods.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
