Irregular bleeding: This is may be normal but you should take a pregnancy test if it is even a remote possibility. Wait and see what happens. If symptoms are severe you will have to see your doctor.

Irregular period: Pregnancy and related conditions can cause irregular period with back pain . Irregular periods can be due to hormonal disturbance like polycystic ovaries, thyroid problems etc. Please do a pregnancy test and consult your doctor
