Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The bleeding you had on 4th was after withdrawal of oral contraceptive, which should be considered as period. The bleeding on 14th could be earlier ovulation bleeding (May be following contraceptive) OR some bleeding from genital tract like. Stressful sex,cervical erosion or cervical polyp (get it excluded by internal examination by a gynecologist). Get ovulation study (usg) done to have idea about your ovulation after oral pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
