hi;
irregular periods are common when you take pills & even for few month after discontinuation of pills.But since you are feeling sick;nausea;& breast tenderness please get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy as above symptoms are similar in pregnancy also.If there is no pregnancy you can consult a Gynaec whether you still need to take pills .
thanks
