It is common for the emergency contraceptive pill to delay or alter your menstrual cycle, as it contains hormones that can disrupt your normal period timing.

Spotting and cramps are also frequently reported side effects after taking it. If your period does not arrive within the next week or two, it is advisable to take a home pregnancy test and consult a doctor to rule out pregnancy or any other underlying concern.
