I'm losing my mind!

While this soothed my mind I still felt tense about the whole thing. So I just finished my period for this month (June) and really want to have sex again but I am so scared that my pills are going to fail or something (yes, I could use condoms too but I never had such a good sexual experience as the one time we didn't use a condom). I take my pills at the same time everyday (I even set an alarm clock so I don't forget) but how do you know that they are working? I posted something on this board about 5 months ago and I think that is where my anxiety was born. (Sorry if this is TMI) They said that while on the pill you shouldn't ovulate. Well how do you know if you are ovulating or not? I still get a discharge...does this mean I am ovulating and my pills aren't working? My Gyno said that you actually discharge more when you are on the pill. But how can you tell if your discharge is ovulation discharge or just normal discharge???
So I have had myself all tense the past month that it has thrown my whole system off (i.e. cramps, constipation, diareeha, my stomach make noises when I eat anything) and I still don't feel 100% like myself (granted I feel better now then I did 2 months ago) but I can't convince myself that my pills work. And I am getting frustrated with myself for being silly. My Gyno told me that your body can change and react differently to the pills even if you have been on them for a while. But why aren't any of these thoughts soothing my mind? All I can think about is the stories of women getting pregnant while on the pill and women who got their periods and didn't know that they were pregnant. I have friends who had pregnancy scares because they used no protection and yet as soon as they get their period they feel so much better. Why can't I feel better?
Any advice would be appriciated!
