Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Dark menstrual bleeding along with cramping means your periods have come early this month. You can take painkiller like tranexamic acid it will reduce your cramps. The early periods are due to high dose of hormone levonorgestrel 1.5 mg contained in emergency contraceptive pill such as Ipill. Hence your period might be early or late for next two cycles. This is a known side effect of taking emergency contraceptive pill.
Please use condoms or other methods of contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy in future. Taking more than one emergency contraceptive pill in 3 months can cause serious side effects

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
