I am not sure of exact date before I know it was around the 18th of Aug. and then just last week the 14th I have a 28day cycle
Brief Answer:
Period only
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, good to tell you that it was your period only and the decreased flow is because of effect of ipill.
So nothing to worry but avoid this in future as ipill can lead to deranged periods for some cycles and also increases the incidence of ectopic pregnancy.

why am I getting lower back pain?
Brief Answer:
Due to inadequate shedding of endometrium
Detailed Answer:
Most of the times it is due to inadequate shedding of endometrium during periods and thus uterus trues to expel the leftover tissue.
It will be fine soon but in case gets bothersome take meftalspas tablet as and when required.

just one last thing is there a difference between period and spotting in pregnancy how do I tell the difference
Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test is confirmatory
Detailed Answer:
Spotting in pregnancy and period can only be differentiated by urine pregnancy test or ultrasound examination.
But in general spotting in pregnancy is off and on only and not continuous as in periods and pregnancy related spotting decreases with rest which is not the case with periods.
Just do one thing, do a urine pregnancy test after 2 days and in case negative then nothing else needs to be at all.
This will release all your anxiety and rule out the meagre chance of ipill failure.
All the best.
