Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possibility of pregnancy is less in your case.
As you have taken emergency contraceptive pill within 24 hours of the intercourse.
Emergency contraceptive pill can lead to menstrual irregularity.
That can be one cause for your scanty flow during withdrawal bleeding.
Other possible causes are anemia, thyroid hormonal abnormalities etc.
Repeated usage of emergency contraceptive pills can affect the menstrual cycle pattern also.

Possibly you may get periods soon and the symptoms you are having could be due to premenstrual phase.
Take care.
