Hello,
You do not need to take the tablets. Firstly, if you have regular 28-30 day cycles, you had intercourse on both occasions during the safe period and hence, you did not need the emergency contraception. The bleeding you have seen is due to the withdrawal effect of the pill as it contains high dose of progestogen. Also, it is not advisable to use emergency pills more than twice per year as menstrual pattern irregularities happen with future fertility problems. Hope this helps.
