Hi There, I'm A 25yo Female On YAZ Birth Control

Hi there, I'm a 25yo female on YAZ birth control pill since Feb 2022 for PCOS. I am currently on my 11th pack.

To provide some context, here's the sequence of events that happened:

1 Dec - 4 Dec: I was scheduled to take the placebo pills, but instead, I immediately started a new pack of active pills. In other words, I skipped my placebo pills.

5 Dec: unprotected sex, while on active pill

6 Dec: unprotected sex, while on active pill

7 Dec: I was still on active pill. I started spotting (light).

9 Dec: unprotected sex, while on active pill

10 Dec: unprotected sex, while on active pill

7 Dec - 11 Dec: spotting continued, with light/moderate bleeding

12 Dec: I started taking placebo pills from the previous pack (because the bleeding didn't stop for 5 days, from 7 Dec to 11 Dec).

13 Dec: Bleeding started to increased from light to moderate. Now, it is of fresh red blood color.

14 Dec: I had type 6 / 7 diarrhea.

15 Dec : Last day of placebo pill. Still bleeding moderately, fresh red blood. Took Ella (emergency contraceptive pill) - still within 120 hours/5days after unprotected sex

16 Dec: started new pack of Yaz birth control pills as instructed.

17 Dec onwards: Bleeding stopped.

23 Dec night: I have headache from tight neck and tightness around the eyes (I often have this). This is accompanied by nausea and I'm afraid that it is associated with pregnancy or is it associated with the headache? Nausea and headache is mild but the more i think about it, the worse it gets and i can't fall asleep.

Questions:
1. Am I at high risk of pregnancy?
2. Is my nausea associated with pregnancy or headache?
3. When should I take a pregnancy test to know if Ella worked?
