Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Intake of morning after pill can cause your periods to come early. Also the other side effects noticed is heavy bleeding. You may experience cramps due to uterine muscular contractions.
During such times, keep yourself well hydrated. You can take iron and folic acid supplements to replenish iron stores. You can take Mefenamic acid with Paracetamol combination for stomach cramps.
You should be alright soon in a couple of days time.
