I am sorry to hear that you had an accident! After taking the ECP, you may get your period later or sooner than your original period date. Most women get their period approximately seven days after or before their period date. The 4 day bleeding that you described would have been your period and now your cycle will be a bit unpredictable moving forward.

Here is an article all about the ECP https://www.empowher.com/birth-control/content/facts-about-emergency-contraceptive-pills
Anon, I would definitely use a back up method until you can get back to a regular cycle.
Did this help?
Best,
Kristin
