The bleeding on the 18th sounds like a withdrawal bleed from the emergency contraceptive pill, not your actual period. These pills shift your hormone levels, so they often bring on a bleed that is earlier or heavier than a normal cycle. Your real period can still arrive close to the expected date of 29th October, or get delayed by a week or two because of the pill.
Next Steps
If your period hasn't started by around 5 to 7 November, take a home pregnancy test since no contraceptive method is completely certain. Keep track of your flow and any pain in the meantime.
Health Tips
Please see a gynaecologist if the bleeding becomes heavy, you're soaking a pad every hour, or you get severe pain.
