Headaches, Breasts Tenderness, Nausea, Bleeding, Painful Abdomen. Taken Ipill. Was It Implantation Bleeding?

Hi, I took ipill last Aug 24 (11am) after having sex on Aug 20 and 22. we used condom only after 5 or so minutes without it. then aug 24 (4pm) we had sex again and morning of aug 25, both using the condom only after 5 to 10 minutes without it again. Then Aug 29-30, I experienced headache, breasts tenderness, nausea, feeling of vommiting, pain in the abdomen and lower back though not too much pain. I took a urine pregancy test on Aug 31 morning and it came negative, the afternoon of the same date, I started bleeding but not so much. I was scared but it looks like period but it only lasted until 3 days, my normal period is 5 days at least.The period came early as I am expecting it by sept 10 at least. Also my period was not as heavy as I used to have, but I also experienced adbominal pain during that menstrual period. I read online that it's still possible to get pregnant even though you were bleeding as it could be caused by implantation in the uterus Now I don't have period anymore but I have lower back pain but not really painful. What do you suggest I do and what could be it? I am planning to get another urine pregnancy test this week and might visit the doctor to get some blood test to confirm. Please advice. Thanks!

Hi,
If you were due for your cycle on the 10th of September, the time of your intercourse fell during the fertile period if you have regular 28-30 day cycles. If you do not use any other contraception, the amount of contraception offered by the methods you followed at the time can be inadequate. The bleeding you have experienced is a breakthrough observed usually following the emergency pill intake as it contains excess hormone enough to disturb the normal hormonal milieu. In the current scenario, it is best to go for the blood pregnancy test and see a specialist if you do not see your period within the next week or if pregnancy is confirmed. Hope your query is answered. Good luck.
