Hi,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Firstly, you did not need to take the emergency contraceptive pill at the first incident since you were in the safe period of your cycle. Please remember that ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next period and this is when an intercourse can cause conception. Since you took the pill which contains high hormone dose, you had the withdrawal bleeding. The pill can also delay your next natural period by a week or two and hence the delay. Please get further help if you are overdue by ten days. Hope this helps.
