General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Birth control pill is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy.
It has just 0.5-2% failure rate after regular use.
Your symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance, side effect of the pill.
If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy. (as in 1-2 % failure rate)
Take birth control pill regular on specific time
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal
Take ginger capsule
Avoid stress, take healthy diet do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
