Hello,
The emergency pill contains high dose of hormone enough to disrupt the normal hormone balance. The withdrawal bleeding that was observed by you is a result of this. Your next natural period can also get delayed by a week or two. Please see a specialist for further help if you become overdue by ten days. Moreover, if the intercourse happened during the safe period or non-ovulation period, you are amply protected; if you consumed the pill within the stipulated time interval, you are safe. Hope this helps.
