I met him on last day of my periods(8th day) he just rubbed on my vagina.. Didn't discharge in.. I took ecp two tbkets together on 9 the November.. Since 20th November.. I am spotting bright red but not enough to wear a pad.
I am wondering what this could be? Periods or withdrawal bleeding.. Today is the 4th day.. My periods suppose to come in 30 November.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
The chances of you getting pregnant are rare as the act took place while you were having your periods, he ejaculated outside and you took emergency contraceptive pills.
After taking the pills, some amount of bleeding may be seen. Your period may also get altered, you may get periods sooner, on same time or later than expected. So do not worry as your periods will get corrected in a couple of months. In the rare situation where you do not get periods even after two months, then you need to do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
