hello,

Irregular taking of emergency pill may cause early or irregular late period due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress.

Other causes could be PCOD, over weight, pelvic infection, polyp etc. I suggest to consult with gynecologist for pelvic examination and proceed one ultrasound scan to confirm the diagnosis.

Lastly, you must use regular combined contraceptive pill on scheduled time from D1 of cycle to get highest protection against unwanted pregnancy and regular monthly cycle.

Good luck.
