If you are on the pill and using it as directed, and you took EC, it is unlikely that you are pregnant.

So, it is much more likely that you are experiencing some irregular bleeding due to the EC. That is, unfortunately, one of its most common side effects.

Since you say this happened last month, you can also now take a pregnancy test, if that would ease your mind.

When EC side effects occur, they can last for a few months. It sounds like this is what you're experiencing.
