Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No contraceptive method is 100% protective.
So there is always (though very small) chance of pregnancy despite of using contraception.
In your case, it is better to rule out pregnancy first.
So get done urinary pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
If this is negative then no need to worry for pregnancy.
Sometimes hormonal imbalance can also cause similar symptoms. So consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels.
You may need hormone pills if you are having imbalance.
Don't worry, your symptoms will dissappear once your hormones are normalize.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Chance of pregnancy is nil as you got the period. You did not mention the type of contraception.
If you are on regular contraceptive pill then again no chance of pregnancy.
If you have taken emergency contraception pill with in 24 hour of sex than again it is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
You clear your doubt regarding pregnancy by urine pregnancy test after 4-5 days.
Hope this may help you

Contact HCM for further health query.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
