Hello,
Thanks for posting your query. I would like to offer my opinion. Emergency contraceptive pill contains high doses of hormone and hence, causes hormone disturbances. This can lead to withdrawal bleeding and a delayed natural cycle. You seem to have experienced withdrawal bleeding followed by a delayed natural cycle. In the current scenario, you have to see a specialist for proper management since you are bleeding for a prolonged period. Styptics can be used to control the bleeding. Use regular contraception and restrict the use of emergency contraception for one or two occasions per year. Hope this helps.
