Brief Answer:
Do a blood pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

The so called period you had could be implantation bleeding of pregnancy. Some women do experience this bleeding.
Since there is a confusion with the pregnancy test, do a blood pregnancy test, It is more accurate than the urine pregnancy test.
If you have further concerns I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes
Dr Rama

I thought implantation bleeding was light. This was a normal heavy period that lasted a week. Which is normal for me.
