Emergency contraceptive pills are 95% effective when taken within 24 hours after having intercourse. After that time the effectiveness decreases dramatically.
The most common side effect of EC is a disrupted cycle. However, in general, periods tend to be unpredictable. Thus whether a cause of the EC or not, there is no cause for alarm unless you did not take it soon enough for the pill to effectively prevent pregnancy.
