You should have a normal period within the next month after taking emergency contraceptive pills, like Next Choice. Sometimes, emergency contraception can change the length of your monthly menstrual cycle, making your next period come as much as a week earlier or a week later than usual. Some women also find that the hormones in the pills can cause unexpected bleeding , but this is not a common or serious side effect. If your next period is late, you might consider getting a pregnancy test.
I hope that this information, from the Princeton University website, is reassuring and calms your nerves.
