Hi,
Pain in the breast could be secondary to the progesterone use. If you have had a normal withdrawal bleed after completion of the treatment, pregnancy is unlikely. If you have been sexually active later and did not see your period provided you have been having regular periods prior to this bleeding spree, pregnancy should be contemplated and excluded/confirmed through tests and sonogram. You also need a local exam by a specialist to exclude local causes and locate the origin of the spotting. If pregnancy is excluded, a breakthrough bleed is the possibility. Hope this helps.
