Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is important to confirm whether the bleeding was due to menstrual cycle or something else.
Trauma during sexual act can be the cause of bleeding.
Emergency contraceptive is unlikely to shorten the menstrual cycle.
I suggest you to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment of the genital tract to rule out any injury to the genital tract.
Thanks and take care
