Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) If you have taken birth control pills regularly as suggested in the previous cycle, and if your pregnancy test is also negative then you can assume that you are not pregnant.

In case of doubt blood beta HCG test and USG will be of help.

3 ) you can very well rely upon the rest results and start on your next pill pack.

4 ) Your scanty bleeding can be due to effect of the hormones in the pills.
Also, your other symptoms like bloating sensation candidates others can be due to progesterone hormone in the pills.

5 ) I will suggest you opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen . Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in daily diet. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products and refined sugars. Use of long acting form of Vitamin B 6, vitamin E and evening primrose oil supplements on daily basis at least for next 3 months will be helpful.

I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
