Emergency contraceptives contain levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic hormone found in most birth control pills.
Levonorgestrel is in a class of medications called progestins. It works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). It also may work by changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent development of a pregnancy.
Logically, too much will delay ovulation further. That is why I suggest you contact your gynecologist and report what has happened.
