Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
First of all, you need to consider the order of events. The common side effect of emergency contraception is bleeding a few days later. It can also disrupt your next period. So, the bleeding you experienced on the Jan 7th was most likely a side effect of the EC you took on Jan 1st, not your regular period. In that case it would not be your regular period.
Since you did not use any birth control when having intercourse Jan 30th - Feb 2nd, then your symptoms could be due to pregnancy. Implantation bleeding is very light and lasts only a few days, just like the bleeding you experienced on Feb 10th.
Overall, your symptoms and order of events point very strongly to pregnancy. However, it could all be caused by taking the EC as well.
Below I have pasted a link to a HER article about the basics of emergency contraception:
