Hello Gynna
Thank you for writing!
There is no need to take emergency contraception (EC) "just in case" - the Pill is 99% effective when taken as prescribed and your boyfriend did not ejaculate inside you. There is no pregnancy risk.
Look up the side effects of the EC you took. Cramping, stomach and uterine discomfort and irregular bleeding are common side effects. This is likely what you are experiencing. Your next period may be early or late as a result. But there is no pregnancy risk.
