Pregnancy is possible any time you have sex. If you forget pills a lot, like you have, then the chance of pregnancy increases by a lot. The pill isn't 100%, but it's a good form of birth control. Sadly it only works if you actually take it.
Missing all these pills will likely throw off your next period. It's also likely the reason for many of your symptoms.
When would your next period be due if you hadn't missed all the pills? Wait at least a week after that due date if you don't get it, and then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative wait another week and test again. If that test is also negative then wait for your next period and if you miss it, test again.
In the meantime make sure you use a condom when you're having sex because the pill takes a month of regular daily use to become effective. At this point, even if you start taking them again, they won't protect you from pregnancy, so you need to use a backup method. Also talk to your doctor about putting you on the shot since you're having a lot of trouble remembering to take your pill. The shot lasts for 3 months, no need to take a pill every day. I think that would be a much better option for you.
Good luck. :)
