Brief Answer:
Get a serum beta hcg test done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
as it's been 24 days since the ipill intake and urine pregnancy test being negative. As considered that urine pregnancy test is sensitive only after 8 days post missed period , so it is suggested that you should get a serum beta hcg test done to rule out pregnancy conclusively .
If negative then you are surely not pregnant and the pain / cramps are part of PMS before withdrawal bleed. You just need to take an antispasmodic.
But is the hcg levels are more than 5mIu then you are pregnant and the bleed which you experienced for 2-3 minutes is likely to be an implantation bleed.
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Yes, you would need a prescription for the test, by the diagnostics.
Secondly, if the test is positive then the pregnancy would not be affected as i-pill is a high dose progesterone and progesterone per se in itself is supportive of pregnancy.
You may attend your work and travel as well as the pregnancy would be too small to actually cause concerns, apart from some pregnancy symptoms like nausea, vomiting or even headaches.
