Pregnancy symptoms but on birth control.

Hello, I am on birth control and have been for over a year. I haven't missed a pill and I am very good about taking them on time. About 7 to ten weeks ago (I know, long time) I had sex 2 times, both of them unprotected using the pull out method. I'm not sure if anything got onto my vagina but it is possible. The first time it happened I got my period the next day because I was due for it and, I took a plan B about three days later because it was the fastest I could get one. The second time I had no money to get one and was sure I would be fine. Since then, I have had what I think are periods, they start 2 to three days into my inactive pills. I bleed pretty heavily, with cramps and bloating, but I have read that some women still get periods while pregnant. The reason I am concerned is I have been having odd symptoms lately, and I'm not sure if it's me psyching myself out or not. I have been having to pee often, everytime I lie down, I feel as if my breasts have gotten larger and also I feel tightness and bloating in my belly. I haven't been diagnosed yet, but it is also possible that I have endometriosis. Could this be causing problems? Can anyone with experience help me out?

Yeah I am very good about taking it. The only reason I took the plan B was because the guy I had sex with insisted I did. I'm concerned that if I am pregnant its because of the second time I had unprotected sex, even though I was on the pill. I'm just very worried about these symptoms I'm having, and can't get to the doctor right now. I'll be taking a test soon just to be sure. And I just recently got insurance and am looking for a new doctor, which is when I will ask about endo.

If you've been on the pill that long and you take it on time every single day the chances of you being pregnant are almost non existent.
I would not recommend using Plan B while on birth control. You'll have to ask your Dr about this though.
I had endometriosis myself and had awful periods with so much bleeding. It can also cause your periods to come early, be late, or you can have break through bleeding during the month.
When will have testing done to see if you do indeed have endometriosis?
