Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

Yes you might be pregnant. Contraceptive pills like Previfem act by preventing ovulation (release of egg). So release of egg donot take place when you are regularly taking theses pills. These pills should be taken once daily at about same time for 21 days & then inactive pills can be taken.
If you skip one pill or take them at different times of the day. There are chances that release of egg might take place & this can result in pregnancy.

So to confirm, Do a urine pregnancy test with a first urine sample in the morning.

For further queries consult a gynaecologist
