Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Birth control pills may cause slight irregularities in the menstrual cycle, especially on the initial days of the cycle. Nothing much to worry and it will settle on its own even without any treatment. Pregnancy is very unlikely and you can go for a repeat urine pregnancy test or a serum beta HCG to confirm whether you are pregnant or not.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
