Your symptoms are probably not due to pregnancy because you took a pregnancy test on time and the result was negative. You can take another pregnancy test if your next expected period becomes late. Going off the pills can cause temporary hormonal disturbances and certain of your symptoms. Fear from unwanted pregnancy can also contribute to the occurrence of certain symptoms.
