Nausea And Backache With Signs Of Pregnancy While Using Althea Pills Over A Year. Are There Any Chances Of Pregnancy?

Good day.

I've been using Althea Pills for more than a year now. Last October 31. 2013,(6th day of my free-day table) i've had my period for only 1 day with brownish color. I started my pack of pills again on Nov. 1, and no missed pills until nov.21. but few days ago im suffering from nausea, backache, and some signs of pregnancy, i've had unprotected sex with my hubby. Im still waiting for my next period this week but im worried. is this normal with the pill even i've been using it in a year? or its possible that im pregnant? pls. help.

The best thing to do is take a pregnancy test ,if you miss your period and confirm. Though your chances of pregnancy looks bleak ,but even contraceptive pills have a small failure rate of 0.3%.
