withdrawal bleed or period?

i had unprotected sex with ejaculation may 8th, and took a plan b 3 hours later the same day. my app said i was predicted to ovulate may 9th, but i understand that doesnt mean i ovulated that day. my cycles are pretty regular, about 27 days. my period at most is a day early or a day late. may 16th i started spotting, pretty light but enough that i felt the need to wear a tampon. its been dark brown, maybe a little bit of red but it more so looked like old blood rather than fresh.

today, may 19th, i woke up with cramps that feel pretty spot on to when my period first starts, along with bleeding that looks how my period does on day 1. pretty heavy along with dark red blood. my period is expected on may 22nd. i understand that its possible for a withdrawal bleed to happen, but im not sure if the brown spotting was the withdrawal bleed and now this is my period or if its still a withdrawal bleed since my period is expected in 3 days. i know plan b can make it come early or late, so with the timing it doesnt seem far off for this to be my period a few days early. just wanted some insight on it we would think this is still the withdrawal bleed or my period. thank you in advance!

once i confirm my period i plan on getting back on the pill! :)

opinions on my timing when taking plan b

I had unprotected sex where he didnt pull out May 8th at around 5:30 am, i took a plan b when cvs opened at 8:30 am the same morning. I dont track ovulation, but my cycles are pretty regular and my app predicts for me to ovuate on May 9th. If anything, my period is sometimes one day late, never usually early. I didn’t notice any change in discharge leading up to the 9th, but I never typically do notice anyway. Just looking for opinions or some reassurance.
