The : The only way to know for sure is to present to your doctor's office and request a pregnancy blood test. Some doctors may not agree to do this. Your doctor may want you to wait for your next period, and if you miss it then a urine pregnancy test will be done. All your symptoms could be due to a hormonal imbalance from taking your pills incorrectly. It may take a few cycles before your cycle normalizes. All the best.
