Hello,
The delay in your period is most likely due to the emergency pill. As such, intercourse soon after a period is safe and emergency contraception is not needed. What you had as a light bleeding after use of the pill is a withdrawal bleed. The hormonal disturbance caused due to the excess hormone present in the pill usually delays a period by about a week or two, but, as your period seems to be delayed more than that, you should see a specialist for further help. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.
