Brief Answer:
It's normal!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
It is normal for the periods to get altered following taking hormonal pills. This is normal and there should be no fear. Treat this as menses and observe only with no further fears at this time.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and hope to hear from you if need be.

Brief Answer:
This is not uncommon!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is possible with EC. There is really no need to get too scared at this time. My advice is to keep a cool head and monitor only. Unless something else happens, there is no reason to be too worried at this time.
Keep me posted and I will walk with you through this. I wish you well.
