PREGNANCY? PMS? POSSIBLE HYPOCHONDRIAC??

Hey! So I was sexually active earlier this month three times and I'm on birth control. I usually take it at 10 pm within an hour ish of that time. I missed 3 days last month and got my period because I missed those pills. I wasn't having sex then and so i let my period come and after, I just started a new pack. I was good on this pack and only missed/ was late once when I took it the next morning around 8 ish. I had sex three times in the past month and all without a condom. Twice he pulled out like 30 seconds before finishing and finished somewhere else. Once he didn't finish and we just stopped half way through. I'm a little nervous about being pregnant. I had sore breasts and back pain about a week and a half ago which subsided after a day ish and now I just have some crampy feelings (i did a hard abs/chest workout yesterday so it could be me mistaking soreness for cramps) and a little constipation. I made the bad decision to look stuff up on the internet and now i think I freaked myself out. I feel sick to my stomach now and gassy like burping but I think thats just me being a hypochondriac because I haven't really felt nauseous or sick at all recently. I just took my third placebo pill tonight and haven't gotten my period yet. I was just wondering if since i'm on birth control pills and the final week is sugar pulls where you get your period, will I get mine and know for sure I'm not pregnant? Or will I possibly still bleed due to lack of medicine in the pills. I also broke out a few days ago which usually only happens around my period so I don't know if I'm just overreacting and I'm pmsing or if I should be worried. What do you think I should do/ do you think I'm alright? Thanks!
