Since u have taken emergency pills,it can cause irregular bleeding and spotting as it alters the normal hormonal balance. If the spotting continues do pregnancy test as emergency pills do have failure rates.

Do a urine pregnancy test 1st to rule out pregnancy. If negative yes this could be your normal periods mam. Emergency contraception can cause delay in periods and it's a side effect, it need not always happen.

Emergency contraception causes menstrual irregularities. If you don't get regular bleeding around April 17, do a urine pregnancy test.
