The menstrual cycle can be different when you initially begin. You can have light and heavy periods and it is not unusual

"Actual intercourse" is a relative term, as contact with semen can occur with other forms of physical intimacy, even without ejaculation by a male partner. If your period is delayed, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy. A delay in ovulation can also delay onset of menstruation. If HCG is negative, see your gyn about low dose oral bcp's.
