Hi SammyX,
Thanks for your question. Please take a deep breath. Taking emergency contraception has been known to alter your menstrual cycle. If you had been on the the birth control pill and taking it as scheduled for a week when you had intercourse, you should have been protected from unwanted pregnancy (99% effective when taken correctly). It always is a good idea to use back up birth control (condoms, spermicide, withdrawal, etc.) if you are really concerned about not getting pregnant. For more information, please review this article: Emergency Contraception Update, 2010
Good luck, and let us know how you're doing.
