Hi & Welcome.
Yes, irregular menstrual bleeding is an important side effect of Positnor.

Frequent use of emergency contraceptive like Positnor can result in side effects such as menstrual irregularities, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome & sometimes even infertility.

It is a common side effect due to high dose of levonorgestrel (progesterone hormone) in the pill, which disrupts your normal menstrual cycles.

You need to be thoroughly evaluated by a gynecologist to regularize your periods.
Hope this will help.
