I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about exactly a month ago, now i am bothered because my monthly cycle has been delayed by over 1 week, i usually have my premenstrual syndrome before my periods start. had it this time too, but the cycle has not yet started, I dont want to get pregnant since i am not prepared for it. Is there any process to find whether i am pregnant or not and is there any contraception option left.. Im worried.. please help me...

Hello, I have a very long complicated story i have to share, For a couple of weeks I've been taking my new pill i had to change it because the one before was giving me twinges in my stomach and making me feel sick but in the instructions it said not to go on my period before starting the new pill just continue taking it, but i just thought it was the pill causing this now I've changed my pill me and my partner didn't follow the seven day rule and a couple of days after im getting cramping, sickness, constipated diarrhea, breast tenderness, dizziness, increase in vaginal discharge, changes in food habits, tiredness, restlessness, temperature change, weight gain, going to the toilet more often and itchy nipples. Please help me out it all sounds like i could be pregnant as I've gone through 3 different types of pill which could of led to my body getting confused and releasing an egg and because i don't take the pill the same time everyday. So yeah thats my story I look forward to hearing from some responses please help. Thank you.
