I have been on birth control for a couple of months and have been taking my pills perfectly. I had unprotected sex today, and although he pulled out, I'm worried it might not have been in time. Additionally, I experienced brown discharge with slight cramping and lower back pain, which felt like the onset of my period, but I don't take the sugar pills until a few days. I also started spotting red blood with cramps. Should I take Plan B, and what do these symptoms mean regarding pregnancy?

I think I’m pregnant. I have experienced breast tenderness, mild nausea, cramps, and fatigue for the past few days. My last period was on February 25th, and I had unprotected sex on March 5th. I missed taking my birth control pills from February 28th to March 3rd and took a pregnancy test yesterday, which was negative. What are the chances I’m pregnant and what should I do next?
