Pregnancy is extremely unlikely if you are using a hormonal method of birth control (pill, patch, ring, shot, implant, Mirena IUD) and since you have recently had a period. If you just started a new hormonal method, the symptoms you described are very typical side effects of these methods during the first few months of use. However, if you miss your next period, take a pregnancy test just in case. If you have been on your method for six months or longer and the symptoms you described do not go away, or if your symptoms worsen (regardless of how long you have been using you method), contact your medical provider.
