Hi,
Yes, it may cause either. The emergency contraceptive pills like I-pills contain high levels of hormones, so taking them repeatedly could lead to uncomfortable side effects, like headaches, nausea, irregular or delayed periods. Hence, avoid taking these pills frequently.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
