Taking an emergency contraceptive pill can significantly disrupt your hormonal cycle, which may cause your next period to be delayed, early, or irregular. This is a common side effect and usually resolves on its own within one to two cycles. However, if your period is significantly delayed or you experience other symptoms, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test and consult a gynecologist to rule out any concerns.
