Emergency contraception does have the side effect of causing irregular cycles. Wait another week for your period to start, and you can take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a reason for a late period (if your last bleeding episode was breakthrough bleeding and not actually your expected period).

You can read more about emergency contraception, as well as condoms breaking, at these EmpowHER articles below:
