My period didn’t come within the week I expected it to come and had intercourse starting on the next week. I took plan b three days after having intercourse, but I vomited 4hrs and 20min after. Therefore, the next day I took aftera and I didn’t vomit at all. I started to have light vaginal bleeding two days after. What does this mean?
Vaginal Bleeding after delayed period and after taking emergency contraceptive?

1 dose of Levonorgestrel (the drug in both pills you took) is a huge dose of artificial hormone for your body. You have taken 2 doses, & that is likely to cause hormonal side effects (even more so than 1 dose often causes). Your periods may be irregular or absent etc. for some time, for example.
As I explained on your last question, you did not need to repeat the dose, as it was more than 2 hours after taking the 1st dose, when you vomited.

Can that also mean that my period can be absent or irregular for more than just a month?

Yes. That's one possible hormonal side effect.

I just don’t get why my period was supposed to come on May 25th, but it didn’t and I had sexual intercourse on May 29th, and that’s when I took plan be on June 1st and Aftera pill on June 2nd, and started to bleed two days after and it lasted for 5 days which is the norm for my menstrual days that also lasts for 5 days, but the bleeding was different from my actual period. The first day it was very light and the second day started to bleed more and it turn a bit more light the next days.
