What Causes Brownish Discharge During Menstruation?

I had a sex on 23rd may last month & precaution got broken. I had ipill for safe side. I didn't feel any effects of pill after that. My period date was on 16th June. But i got it on 13th June 3 days before. I always had normal bleeding in Red color with clots for 5 days cycle. This time i had darker bleeding in brown almost in black in color for 3 days only. Can i know why? Is this a normal periods?
Also, i feel cramping or nerve stretching pain my left side abdomen?

Hi,
I understand your concern.
I pill is an emergency contraceptive pill.It acts by postponing ovulation. So with the pill, normal menstruation gets disturbed. That's why you had you period earlier/ with unusual bleeding.It was withdrawal bleeding for the hormones in pill. You will get your normal period delayed by a weeks time.
Thanks.
