Brief Answer:
Yes you are safe.

Detailed Answer:
Okay
The lighter bleeding is due to the Unwanted 72.
Yes , you are safe.
Chances of pregnancy in your case are very low.
You should be having your normal period.
However, nobody can predict when that will happen.
The unwanted 72 can cause menstrual irregularity.
It can postpone your period upto 7 - 10 days.
So dont worry, you will have your proper period in a few days .
You should anyways take a pregnancy test to be on the safer side, by 31st of January.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
You have taken test too early.

Detailed Answer:
The lighter bleeding is a side effect of the Unwanted 72, as it contains hormones.
If you had sex on 12th January, it takes atleast 15 days after that to have a proper positive pregnancy test.
So please repeat it on the 31st January.
