You should immediately go to a specialist hospital to be examined, determine the cause and take measures to treat menstrual disorders and irregular periods in time. When these conditions are cured, your menstrual cycle will also return to regularity.
Besides, you also need to note that emergency contraceptive pills should not be used more than 2 pills / month and 3 pills / year.
