I've been feeling a little uneasy and could use some advice. I had intercourse with my fianc on January 7th, and we used protection, but it leaked. To be safe, I took an i-pill about an hour later because I didn't want to risk getting pregnant. My last period started on December 31st and ended on January 4th, so we did it just a few days after my period ended. I got some bleeding on January 12th, which I think might be withdrawal bleeding. I've been drinking ajwain with kala namak and warm water every night to try and induce my period. Now it's February 2nd, and I'm noticing my breasts feel heavy, there's slight pain in my legs, and I've seen some bleeding when I pee, but the bleeding on the pad is really light compared to my usual periods. I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and it was negative, but I'm worried about this light bleeding. Why is it so different from my usual periods?

It sounds like you're experiencing irregular bleeding, which could be due to hormonal changes after taking the I-pill or stress. The negative pregnancy test is reassuring, but it's important to monitor your symptoms. If the bleeding persists or worsens, or if you're concerned, it's best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.
