Very low: When you miss a pill or have a disruption in when you take the pill, it is normal to get some breakthrough bleeding. It is still unlikely that you got pregnant from this encounter, but to be sure, take a pregnancy test about two weeks after intercourse.

Pregnancy's possible: Having sexual relations at any time of your cycle opens you up to the possibility of becoming pregnant unless you know that you or he are sterile. Whether or not the bleeding is that of implantation vs. Your period is not easy to tell from the information you've provided. You may want to either check with your doctor or get a pregnancy test to take if your next expected period is missed.
