It is common for emergency contraceptive pills to cause a delay or change in your menstrual cycle, as they contain high doses of hormones that can temporarily disrupt your cycle. Your period may come a few days earlier or later than expected. If your period is significantly delayed (more than a week) or you experience unusual symptoms, it is advisable to take a home pregnancy test and consult a doctor for further evaluation.
