I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?

Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm experiencing early pregnancy symptoms or just normal stuff. My last menstrual period was on May 4th, 2016, and today I'm 10 days past ovulation. We're planning to conceive, but since my next period is still about five days away, I'm not sure what to expect. Lately, I've been feeling really sleepy and noticed some watery vaginal discharge for the past 3-4 days. Are these signs of early pregnancy, or do they happen naturally? Would love your thoughts.
