This could have several different explanations. It could be hormonal changes, stress, thyroid problems, or even some medical issues. You should still be cautious and not assume that it is an emergency because you have no pain and are not pregnant. A more accurate diagnosis might come from a gynecologist who will prescribe the right treatment.

Am I pregnant or is it another cause?

Could I be pregnant from sex before ovulation?
The symptoms you're having, like a stomach ache and a bad taste in your mouth, can be caused by different things. It's unlikely that you're pregnant right after you take the morning-after pill, especially if you take it on time. Antibiotics though can sometimes cause stomach discomfort and alter taste in the mouth. They may also have a slight effect on your period. Take the antibiotics as prescribed. If your symptoms don't go away or worsen, it is better to talk to your gynecologist.
