Take a test: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.

Unlikely from : description. There would not be signs/ symptoms from pregnancy one day after pregnancy. However, if period is missed would take a home pregnancy test.
