Hi Dina,
Unfortunately, it is difficult to distinguish PMS symptoms from pregnancy symtpoms, as what causes these unpleasant effects are similar hormones in our bodies. The only way to know if you are pregnant is a missed period and a positive pregnancy test.
You can take a home pregnancy test once your expected period has not started. You can either choose to take one now, or wait another week, as your period may just be late. It happens frequently.
Women who use the pill can still have irregular periods and PMS, although the pill does help many women reduce these symptoms.
Please let us know if your period starts, or if you decide to take a test!
