An emergency contraceptive contains a high dose of a synthetic hormone, that prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation.
Your menstrual cycle is regulated by a precise balance of hormones.
By taking the pill just days before your period was due to start upset the balance.
That is probably why your period was delayed. Brown spotting indicates old blood, probably left over from your last period.
If you do not get your period in the next two weeks, please consult your gynecologist, who can order blood tests to check your hormone levels.
