A member asked:
11 days after my period i bled for 4 days. took ec a few days earlier. could this be breakthrough bleeding? does it effect my normal cycle time?

Yes : emergency contraception disrupts the menstrual cycle. The high dose of progesterone decreases the risk of ovulation. Irregular bleeding is expected

This could be: due to use of emergency contraceptive. At this point - can't predict if your period will be on time or length of this cycle.
