The idea of emergency contraception is to disrupt or delay ovulation to prevent pregnancy. It is hard to say when someone ovulates after taking emergency birth control. Your cycle app is predicting ovulation based on your past cycles. It is not taking into account the hormonal surge from emergency contraception.
