Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Emergency contraceptive pills like birth control pills have a large dose of hormones in them. A normal side effect of emergency contraceptive is irregular menstrual cycle. Birth control pills will regulate your menstrual cycle but it will take some time before you become regular.
If you are planning to begin taking birth control pills in April, that give you 2-3 weeks since taking the plan b. But to be on the safer side, when you talk with your doctor about starting your birth control pills let him/her know about the emergency contraceptive back in February, so they can best advise you on how to proceed.
