Period or Spotting? Should I get a preg test?

Hi there, I'm 20 years old. I had unprotected intercourse on the 12th day of my cycle. I am not on any form of birth control. I was informed that taking 5 Microgynon contraceptive pills and then taking another 5 twelve hours later produces a similar result to taking the morning after pill.
(I know this is stupid but I had them at home and couldn’t afford the morning after pill)
I took 5 Microgynon contraceptive pills 12 hours after intercourse but forgot to take the second lot of 5. 7 days later I began spotting, I bled for 2 days however on the second day the blood turned from brown to bright red and there was more of it. My question is, do you think that could of been my period or was it a 'fake' period from taking the pill? My period usually goes for around 6 days. Do you think there's a chance I could be pregnant and should I get a test? If it wasn't my period then it should be due around about now. Also I've been feeling overly tired lately. I'm absolutely exhausted but have no other symptoms.
What do you guys think? Thanks

I think that combination of the worry of pregnancy and taking the extra pills may be making you tired. The extra pills could affect your mestrual cycle so if your period is late, it could be that as well as pregnancy. I would take a test to be sure, but I think you have to take one after a certain period of time in order to get an accurate result?
