Emergency contraceptive alters the normal hormonal balance and cause irregular periods. Pregnancy is unlikely, though you may do a home pregnancy test about 4 weeks after the episode of sex in question.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. Consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.
Practice safe sex.
