Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency contraceptive pill can alter the menstrual cycle by altering the hormonal levels.
After taking the pill, it can lead to withdrawal bleeding in few days.
If you take the tablet in the first half of the cycle, it can lead to preponement of the periods.

So, that may be the cause for her earlier onset of periods.
The possibility of pregnancy is less in your case, as :
- Usually in case of regular periods ovulation will not occur on around 6th day of the cycle.

-She took the emergency pill within 3 to 4 hours of the act.

Possibly this bleeding may subside in 4 to 5 days. And she may get her next periods after one month.
Take care.
