Hi,
Emergency contraceptive acts by postponing ovulation. The bleeding you had seems to be withdrawal bleeding when the hormones in the pill left your body.
Due to delayed ovulation, the menstrual cycle tends to be delayed by 8-15 days. That must be the cause for your delay in periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
