Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
Any time you have bleeding that last longer than 7 days, you need to see your doctor. Taking the EC could be contributing factor. Other causes for prolonged bleeding include:
-Uterine fibroids, non-cancerous growths of the uterus wall
-Endometrial hyperplasia, a thickened endometrium
-A bleeding disorder, like von Willebrand disease
-Thyroid disfunction
-Glandular issues
-Infection
-Ovarian cysts
-Uterine polyps
The fastest and most common treatment for irregular periods in to take month birth control pills. However, in order to be sure that the irregularity is caused simply by hormonal imbalances, you need to rule out these other possibilities. Doctors usually do not discuss these other causes. So during your appointment its wise to be specific in asking about each one before getting a treatment.
