If you haven't missed any pills then your risk for pregnancy is very low. Also, since you have only been on birth control for 2 month, I suspect your body is adjusting to the newly introduces hormones. Some women may notice minor changes when first starting the pill like:
Breast tenderness or fullness
Nausea-taking pills with food should help; call the clinic if vomiting is a problem
Spotting (breakthrough bleeding) - does not mean there is something wrong with you or that the pill is too strong or weak for you
Very short and light periods - some women will have only a drop of blood or brown smear on a pad, tampon, or underwear. It is normal for some women to miss a period completely or have no bleeding (see pill instructions for missed period)
Weight gain/fluid retention - usually not greater than 5 pounds. A healthy diet, less intake of salty foods and regular exercise will help
Acne - a few women may have an acne flare-up
Mood changes - usually mild and temporary
Do not stop taking the pill. When taken correctly, birth control is up to 99.9% effective. The likelihood of you being pregnant is very low, but the quickest way to rule out pregnancy is to take a home pregnancy test.
