You take it up to 4 days before your period starts, so that would be BEFORE your placebo pills.

MORNING sickness does not happen that quickly. You would need to have at least missed your period for the hormones to be high enough to make you sick.

The pregnancy symptoms could just be from the pills. There's really not a need to worry about pregnancy unless you weren't taking your pills correctly.
