Hello,
i have gone through your query and understand your concern.
if you had any intercourse, then you might be pregnant.
because you are having all the signs of early pregnancy ie..
1. light pink discharge- it may be due to implantation bleeding
2. Breast tenderness
3. Headache, cramping and back pain are usual symptoms in early pregnancy.

Progesterone withdrawal usually cause heavy menstrual bleeding and panic attacks.

Thus please check Urine pregnancy test (HPT) to rule out pregnancy.
If it is negative, then it may be a withdrawal symptoms of progesterone.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
