Impossible to know: Without full history and exam would just be speculating. Is this really menstrual flow or bleeding of another cause? Irregularities of menses are quite common and due to multiple causes, so nothing may be specifically "wrong". Suggest that if the problem continues you see a gynecologist and be evaluated.

Breakthrough bleed: The use of the emergency contraceptive probably caused the uterine lining to swell and then shed after the contraceptive was withdrawn causing bleeding.
