Hello,

Yes, emergency contraceptive medication has some predisposing affect to derange the normal cycle of your periods. You have not mentioned what type of medication you have taken. There may be some days of up down in your normal routine for this or next month. For ruling out any pregnancy you need to get a pregnancy test also done because sometimes the contraceptive pills does not work too though the accuracy is 80 to 90 percent.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
