I know this is very unlikely but I would just like some other peoples opinions.
I started to take the pill a couple of months ago as my fiancé and I are getting married in six months time and although we want kids, I would prefer to not be pregnant at the wedding. I believe I have been taken it correctly and that we waited long enough for it to be in my system before having unprotected sex but for the last couple of months I've had this feeling like I have a cold coming but it's never actually turned into a full on cold. I've also been bloated and feel like the pouch at the bottom of my stomach is a bit bigger as well as my boobs. Obviously this could just be that I've put on weight but I'm not eating anything out of the ordinary and I'm moving around more than I usually would so wouldn't think I would have gained weight. I've also been feeling sick in the afternoon / evenings and been having headaches for about a week.
My boobs have also been really sore over a month now.
I had a small bleed once I'd been taken the pill for a couple of weeks (which is roughly when my period naturally would have fallen) and then a period like bleed during my pill break a week later and then another period like bleed in my next pill break.

I know it is unlikely that I'm pregnant but I would like some other people's opinions to stop me being crazy and I'd also like to know if anyone has had these sort of symptoms after starting taking the pill.

I'd take a test to know for sure. Fingers crossed for the result you want - whatever that may be ❤️

Only way to know is a test

Have you taken a test?

It's difficult to say for sure.

If you waited 7 days after starting it before having unprotected sex and if you've been taking it correctly since then you shouldn't be pregnant. However the pill isn't 100% effective so there's always a chance.

All the symptoms you've described definitely could be your body adjusting to being on the pill, however if I were you I'd do a pregnancy test just to rule it out. You'd have a super strong positive by now if you were pregnant so it's probably going to be the best way to get complete peace of mind.
