When should I expect my period?

Hi my period has always been regular down to the day but I took emergency contraceptive last month and a week later on the 30th I got my period around 2 weeks earlier than usual but I only had it for 2 days and it was a lot heavier than usual too so should I expect my period to be around the date I had it last with the emergency contraceptive or the usual date that I normally get my period (usually the 10th-14th) because it’s the 30th today and there is no sign of it worried

I recently took a medication (different one) that resulted in a withdrawal bleed. I wasn't sure what would happen or if my body would ignore the withdrawal bleed. It turned out that my body decided to treat the bleed like a period and my cycle turned up 28 days after the medicine induced bleed. Maybe not helpful since we're talking about a different medication, but just in case it is.

If that’s the case then I must’ve missed my cycle 😭 I’m so worried fingers crossed it I don’t get it within the next few days that I’ll get it on my usual dates

Maybe do a pregnancy test to hopefully put your mind at rest?
