Hi,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
In your case it could be due to either pregnancy or due to side effects of medicine.
To rule out pregnancy you can go for blood beta hcg testing or you can wait and watch for your menses.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
