Period cramps during breastfeeding

I have 2.5 month baby. I am exclusively breastfeeding her. I got my periods and I am having cramps. Which tablet I can take to reduce pain while I am breastfeeding?

Menstrual cycle problem

My last menstrual period was from 22nd to 25th May. Due to contraceptive failure, I took an Unwanted 72 pill on 27th May, within a few hours of the incident. I experienced withdrawal bleeding starting on 2nd June, and it is still continuing. Until yesterday, I was having abdominal pain and leg pain, but since this morning, I have been experiencing significant breast tenderness why it's happening even after seven days of start of the bleeding, to the extent that even a light touch causes discomfort. I am concerned about whether these symptoms are normal side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill and whether they indicate that the pill has pr hasn't worked successfully.  Additionally, could these symptoms be early signs of pregnancy, or are they more likely to be side effects of the emergency contraceptive pill? Should I take a pregnancy test, and if so, when would be the appropriate time to do so?

Please advice

I conceived naturally after 6 years of trying and many medical treatments. I found out I was pregnant on May 19. I have had spotting for 2 days and bleeding on the 3rd day, even after taking the medicine prescribed by my doctor. My ultrasound did not show the baby yet, but my HCG test and urine pregnancy test were positive. My last menstrual period was on April 6. I am very worried and want to know if my baby is safe.

Period late

I already wrote earlier that we did no intercourse or genital contact. She just rubbed my genital part with her hand. I ejaculated but it was not directed towards her vulva and her legs were closed. It occurred on 2nd may and it was the 23rd day of her menstrual cycle. Her Bleeding Started on 6th may as per schedule and continued till 9th may. She had cramps and clots as usual. She took 7xl pads and 1 regular pad. Her this month's period is late. It is already her 34th day. She is having cramps and feeling tired. I did a urine pregnancy test using preganews standard kit on 6th June. I did the test at 9 am after she had urinated 2 times before-one at 6.40 am another at 8 am. She also consumed a small Cup of tea and 2 sip of water before 8 am. The result is negative. Is there any concern for pregnancy? And 2nd may was the last we met.
