Intercourse, Taken Pills, Heart Burn, Stomach Ache, Irregular Periods. Pregnant?

============================
I had intercourse on 4th day of my cycle, i.e. during menstruation (day 1 as the day periods started). I had even spotted the next day. Used protection too. I was still worried so i took 2 XXXXXXX combination pill on day 5 and 2 XXXXXXX pills on day 6. I did not take the pill after that. Ever since I have had heart burn and stomach ache, belching and pain between the shoulders. Today, day 13 of my cycle, i am bleeding, infact heavier than day 1 of my periods. The discharge is fresh bright red with mucous. I have never had mid cycle bleeding before. What is causing this?? Its not pregnancy or implantation bleeding, is it?? considering i am only day 13 of my cycle today.
Just to add that i have a regular 30-31 cycle normally.
Thanks for posting your query.
The bleeding you are having now is most likely the withdrawal bleeding caused by the high dose of XXXXXXX that you took for 2 days continuously.
It does not seem like an implantation bleeding or a feature of pregnancy as you were involved in sexual intercourse during safe period where the chances of pregnancy are almost nil. The bleeding is likely to subside in next 2-3 days.
In addition to this your next period may be delayed by a few days. If this happens, it is again due to the XXXXXXX pills.
If the heavy bleeding continues for more than a few days (as mentioned earlier) then you might need hormonal drugs like combined contraceptive pills to stop the bleeding. A gynecologist would be able to prescribe it to you if needed.
Hope this answers is helpful to you.
Wish you good health.
