Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. The reality of your question is there certainly a possibility. The birth control pill itself is not a 100% guarentee that you will not got pregnant, therefore you should always use condoms as well. Condoms also protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.
Since you only missed your pills a week ago, the symptoms you are explaining certainly may be from you missing your pills as your body may be pre-menstrual. Remember that pregnancy and pre-menstrual symptoms often mimic each other and this would be extremely early for you to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms. It may just be your concern for pregnancy that is causing the symptoms. We have all been there.
As there is no instant response to your question at this time, unfortunately, you will have to wait and see if you miss a period. Since you are seeing your doctor on the 22nd, you should have a blood test taken to see if you are pregnant. I hope this helps. Please keep us posted on your results and good luck.
