Hello,
thanks for using health care magic,
Emergency contraceptive pills are effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies when taken within the required time period and you did take the pill within 24 hours which is within the 72 hours period of effectiveness of the pill.
Emergency contraceptive pills are hormone based and could alter the menstrual cycle. However, normal menstrual cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days and it is possible to have some small differences, either menses coming a few days earlier or a few days late. Your menses in April came about 36 days after last menses and in May 24, you are still about 33 days since last menses.
For now, there is no much trouble, you just have to re do a pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant. If you are not, then you do not need to stress yourself as all will be okay after a couple of cycles.
Hope this helps you.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
