BC question

I started BC around November 19th  and have been on time. Had sex with out a condom the 21st of December. Since the 1st of January I have taken BC between 1-2 hours late....I'm on my off week for birth control and should be getting my period in 2 days, but I have been feeling tired, some food I just don't want to see and other I crave, and my breast are tender. Could it be that I'm pregnant? I don't think so, I also just got back from a vacation and drive back, so that might be why I'm tired.

The birth control could still be impacting your hormone levels. My breasts tend to get tender right before I start my period because of the increased hormones (and this was something that hadn't happened to me when I was younger). I wouldn't be worried (especially since stress can impact your period and make it even later) but if you don't get your period in a week or so go get it checked out.
