Bleeding after taking emergency pill is the side effects of pill called withdrawal bleeding.
Do pregnancy test if you have missed your period date.

Bleeding about a week after an emergency pill is usually a withdrawal bleed from the hormone, not your actual period, so your cycle can still run late this month. It doesn't rule out pregnancy on its own, since emergency pills don't always prevent pregnancy, especially when taken close to ovulation.
Next Steps
Take a home urine pregnancy test now, and repeat it after about a week if this one is negative and your period still hasn't come.
Health Tips
See a gynaecologist if you develop pelvic pain, your test stays negative but periods don't return, or you notice unusual spotting, so other causes can be ruled out.
