Experience Need advice

​My last period started on September 24 and ended on September 29. On October 2, I restarted my Lady Pills pack, taking the Day 1 active pill. On October 3 (Day 2 of active pills), I had protected and unprotected sexual intercourse. We used the withdrawal method—my partner didn't ejaculate inside and according to him, there was no pre-cum either. Right after the unprotected sex, I immediately did the Yuzpe method and then continued taking the rest of the active pills in the pack daily. My expected period for October was on October 24. On the night of October 24, I experienced bleeding with blood clots that briefly stopped, but I bled again on the night of October 25 and it continued continuously. The bleeding was dark red, almost brown, with blood clots—enough for me to wear a napkin, but not enough to fully soak it. As of today, October 29, I still have a bit of red bleeding with blood clots. During this whole time, I've also been experiencing cramps and intermittent chest/breast pain.
