Hi,
Intercourse soon after a period during a 28-30 day cycle is safe even without any precaution. As you have taken two doses of the emergency pill, your hormonal balance will be disturbed and your cycle tends to be delayed. You are safe from pregnancy as you took the pill within the stipulated time. If you do not see a period after 10-14 days after the due date, please consult a specialist for further help. In future, please restrict the use of emergency pill to once or twice a year and use some form of regular contraception instead. Hope this helps. Good luck.
