Brief Answer:
Get your pregnancy test done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

There can be a small possibility of pregnancy due to the method failure. But I am of the opinion that these symptoms are due to subtle hormone variations in the body. These hormone variations can occur due to change in body weight, stress ( physical or mental) etc.

Get your pregnancy test done. That will clarify the things for you.

Best wishes,
Dr Rama
