Have you taken a pregnancy test? How long until your next period is supposed to start?

Wait until your period and if it is late take a pregnancy test. The pill is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy so there is a possibility to conceive while on the pill. If you have been under a lot of stress lately it can cause you to have pregnancy like symptoms. Also if they changed your pill and made it stronger via manufacture it could cause your body to have to readjust to the new hormone levels in the pill causing your symptoms. If you recently got sick and/or started any medications it will cause your birth control to be less effective. Good Luck

With so many changes to your body all of it could be causing your periods to be messed up and lighter. Also it can cause you to have pregnancy like symptoms between stress and switching birth control. Wait for your period and if it is late take a pregnancy test.
