Light, short period after morning after pill?

Hi, I took the MAP over a week ago due to paranoia. I didn't really have 'UNPROTECTED SEX' as such because he only fingered me. But I'm a huge worrier so I took it just in case he had sperm on his fingers.

Anyway, so I have irregular periods anyway (21 - 30 days) and I know the MAP can make your period different. But I exsperienced brown spotting after the pill which I expected. Then I day 21 I had what I thought was a period - it was period type blood (red) but it was a light flow. This light flow period lasted about 2 days, and now it's stopped? It wasn't spotting as it was enough to show on a panty liner and I had small blood flow clots when peeing.

However, I am now worried to whether this actually counts as my period? I read up on 'implantation bleeding' and now that's worried me - but in reality the chances of me being pregnant are slim to none.

Is this normal? Is this my period? I know the MAP can mess up your cycle and heaviness of your periods but is a short, light period normal? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
