The emergency contraceptive pill commonly causes an early bleed within a week or two of taking it, and that is usually a side effect of the pill rather than your actual period. It can also push your real next period later than your usual 30 day cycle, since it can delay ovulation that month.
Next Steps
Going by your cycle, your next period would normally be due around late October, but after taking the pill it can arrive anywhere up to one to two weeks later. Keep tracking it, and take a home pregnancy test if it hasn't started by then.
Health Tips
If your period doesn't come at all, or is unusually light and short, please see a gynaecologist to rule out pregnancy and check your cycle.
