Emergency contraception can change your "bleeding pattern" for a cycle or two, so this is all normal. Your "bleeding pattern" can either by your menstrual period or breakthrough bleeding, and the only way to know what you experienced was to wait for another cycle. Your menstrual period should begin around the time you expect it to; it could be a week early or a week late. That's the downside of EC...it can change your cycle for a month or two, but it is GREAT to know that you have an extra protection against pregnancy when your primary birth control fails.
