I answered this exact question on another thread, but can answer again here, too.

Emergency contraception can lead to an early or delayed period, usually about a week. If your period is two weeks early, this may be what is normal for you.

I outlined possible symptoms that you would want to call your doctor about, in regards to abnormal bleeding:
- Excessive bleeding, soaking through more than one pad or tampon per hour
- Excessive pain or unusual symptoms that are worrisome (unusual headaches, fatigue)
- Bleeding for longer than 7-10 days (usually 7 days is the maximum, but some women can bleed longer).

Keep an eye on your period, and if you are experiencing these above symptoms, a quick call to your doctor might be a good idea.
